    Good

    It's a ruined cathedral designed long before wheelchairs but most of the ground floor is accessible. Covid safe with mirrors around dark corners and santiser available. Have to book in advance but we did that with the QR code outside the gate.

    Mostly on grass with short gravel path. Fine in my power chair. Signage and interpretation boards all clear and easy to read.

    Excellent

    Helpful, friendly staff at entrance and an informative man dressed up as a bishop to explain more of the history associated with the site and the town.
