Red — serious concerns
Independent assessmentCobbles, uneven ground and extensive difficult stairways leave substantial parts of this major historic complex inaccessible to wheelchair users.
A Changing Places toilet, mobility equipment, companion admission and accessible tours provide important support. The venue nevertheless identifies difficult and spiral stairs, low doorways, cobbled and uneven routes and restricted wheelchair access across parts of the site.
