I am just taking over the garden in our new place.

It is fairly small and supposed to be of the "low management" style.

I am disabled and cannot get down easily and so wish to make it even
more disabled friendly and ultra low management.

There are at present a good selection of daffodils and narcissi, a large
patch of what looks like lily leaves (no flowers as yet so I am unsure
of what they are), the odd rose bush and other shrubs.

Can anyone suggest a good ground cover that will act as a weed control,
but needing minimum care so I don't have to get down on my hands and
knees!

Ivy can actually make good ground cover. It's pretty easy to keep under control
on the ground and is evergreen. Put some (spring and summer) bulbs in before
planting and it will have some colour too.

Here's a couple of sites with more suggestions (and photos)
