Planning your visit

All vehicles must be parked in the lay-by on the public road.

You will need to walk 500m each way to the Mausoleum, and you will need to open and close three gates in quick succession. Please leave all gates as you find them.

There are a number of houses on the estate that are private premises. Please respect the residents’ privacy when passing the houses.

All cyclists should dismount to pass the houses.

All dogs must be kept on a short lead (less than 2m) when passing the houses due to free-ranging poultry.

Please take all rubbish home with you.

The nearest public toilets are by the bus shelter in the village of Salen, 3 miles from the mausoleum.

For more information about planning your visit, please see our frequently asked questions.

Accessibility

  • The gravel estate track is wide, flat and smooth.
  • The track is suitable for wheelchair users.
  • Visitors will need to open and close three farm gates.
  • The mausoleum is set in woodland and there is a grass lawn surrounding it.

We have an ongoing programme of accessible content development. Detailed accessibility guides for the most visited Trust places are available on our Accessibility pages as well as links to useful resources.

We’d love you to visit the Euan’s Guide website to review the accessibility of Trust places and tell us (and others) what’s good and where we need to do better.
