Amber — some concerns
Independent assessmentPrincipal exhibitions have practical support, but the Wall Walk, entrance choice and lack of on-site parking are significant constraints.
The paved East Gate route, loan wheelchairs, accessible toilets, hearing loops, sensory bags and free carer admission support the main visit. The West Gate ramp is too steep for accessible entry, there is no visitor parking on site, the elevated Medieval Wall Walk is unsuitable for wheelchair users, and the hoist-equipped toilet has no adult changing bench.
