Three very accessible sites

The baths are very accessible from a pay and display car park adjacent, though there are more than the usual number of disabled bay street parking bays nearby in the one way system. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Lots of audio and visual information. The museum also, but if you wish to visit the 'barracks' and look at the armour you have to request external access via a fire escape door at 90 degrees to the path, which has a one inch threshold bar. A bit of a jolt for small wheeled scooters. Once inside an extremely enthusiastic young man will tell you all you need to know and help you try on helmets and armour, if you can lift it!! The amphiteatre which is directly accessible from the road is surrounded by grass which is cut short and there is scooter access into the arena. (Not recommended in wet weather) One information board and several notices. Highly recommended.
