I'm in a manual wheelchair and I go here pretty regularly. The access is better than you'd expect considering the age! There are some steep ramps and some tight corners but theres a through floor lift and you can get to all the in use rooms in the museum apart from there is a step up to see the mummified cat as it's in a cubbyhole thing. The floor is a bit uneven at points especially in the garden and there are some bits that are kind of tricky outside (gravel in one part) but you can see it all staying on the pavers. In the shop there is a bit with secondhand books and there's a step up in to that though the people in the shop will tell you what's there and bring stuff out if you can't get over the step They have some sensory bags and stuff and as you go through the museum theres various audio bits though you'd probably need someone to guide you to them so you know how to turn them on There's a modern disabled toilet in the cafe though it's not a changing places one
