Buckler’s Hard is committed to making its services accessible for all. Our staff are trained in disability awareness to the latest standards set by the local Tourist Authority and are here to ensure you enjoy your visit.

We firmly believe that targeted improvements in the right areas can make all the difference and we are working with our visitors and local access groups to identify where the improvements are most needed.

The historic shipbuilding village of Buckler's Hard is by its nature and location less accessible to our visitors with disabilities. The site has remained almost unchanged since the 18th century and includes a number of gravel paths and narrow doorways. The Maritime Museum at Buckler's Hard is on various levels to reflect the architecture of the time and to tell the story of shipbuilding through history.

Advice for visitors with dogs

Dogs are allowed in the village, but for the benefit of other visitors we do require that they be kept on a lead and under control at all times. Owners are also asked to ensure that no mess is left within the grounds where it will be offensive to others. We regret that we do not allow dogs inside Maritime Museum, Cottage Dsiplays or the Captains Cabin Café, unless they are guide dogs for the blind.
