Access
The extensive ruins of Basing House, are open to the public. Entry to the House has been significantly altered, with a ticket office, coffee shop and exhibition in an Annex of the Great Barn, with visitors streamed into the site from the car park, via a short walk along the River Loddon. A UK Heritage Lottery Funded scheme has allowed significant upgrades for the visitor "experience" (including upgrades to paths and bridges for disabled access), and further renovations are scheduled for 2011/12.
A separate planned schedule for school trips is also available. Check the website for more details.
(2011) The ruins are open from 1 March to 31 October Saturdays to Thursdays from 10:00AM to 5:00PM. For more details see the Basing House web page in "External links" below.
The opening times are Saturday to Thursday, from 10-5pm

Famous quotes containing the word access:
“A girl must allow others to share the responsibility for care, thus enabling others to care for her. She must learn how to care in ways appropriate to her age, her desires, and her needs; she then acts with authenticity. She must be allowed the freedom not to care; she then has access to a wide range of feelings and is able to care more fully.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“Whilst the rights of all as persons are equal, in virtue of their access to reason, their rights in property are very unequal. One man owns his clothes, and another owns a country.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Knowledge in the form of an informational commodity indispensable to productive power is already, and will continue to be, a major—perhaps the major—stake in the worldwide competition for power. It is conceivable that the nation-states will one day fight for control of information, just as they battled in the past for control over territory, and afterwards for control over access to and exploitation of raw materials and cheap labor.”
—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
