    An accessible way to spend a penny.Sympathetically installed ramps in a historic building. It's not rocket science.

    Excellent

    Wells Cathedral is perfect. A gorgeous setting, well thought through acessibility, decent accessible toilets and a lift to the tea shop. What more could anyone want? We stayed in The Swan Hotel opposite the Cathedral and parked in their car park so parking wasn't an issue.

    Excellent

    This had been well thought through. There were one or two areas that I couldn't get to because of the multiple steps (e.g. The Chapter House), however in such a historic building I don't see how that could have improved the access.

    Helpful when needed but didn't bat an eyelid about having a wheelchair user as part of the guided tour or in the cafe. Perfect.

    Additional Information

    Highly recommended. Parking could be an issue if you are not staying nearby.
