Accessible Things To Do in Bath

Bath’s attractions are committed to making their venues as inclusive and accessible as possible. From historic houses to grand galleries and landscaped gardens, many have dedicated facilities and trained staff to make your visit as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

One of the city’s biggest draws is its stunning Georgian architecture; fortunately, Bath is a compact city and easy to navigate if you’re unable to walk long distances or are visiting in a wheelchair. There are also many places to rest and take in the view, as well as several disabled parking bays for Blue Badge holders throughout the city centre.

The Roman Baths caters for a range of additional access needs, with 90% of the site accessible by wheelchair. People with hearing or sight impairments can also enjoy the site fully using their fully descriptive audio tour (also available in British Sign Language), with tactile models also available. Visitors with autism can download a visual story or helpful document for the Roman Baths to help you plan your visit and to show you what you will experience throughout the site.

All areas of Bath Abbey are accessible aside from the tower, with accessible toilets also available, and facilities for hearing impaired visitors. Guide dogs are also permitted.

Some museums are limited by their listed status, with wheelchair access to The Jane Austen Centre limited to the ground floor only, however an audio tour is available to visitors who are unable to access the upper floor. Two floors of the four-floor house at No.1 Royal Crescent are wheelchair accessible via a lift, with an audio and visual experience available to guide you through a day in the life of a Georgian family in the house.

Victoria Art Gallery has a spacious ground floor gallery with touchpad info points at wheelchair height, while The Fashion Museum has audio guides compatible with the ‘T’ switch on hearing aids, with the option of the audio guide text also available.

All areas at Thermae Bath Spa are accessible, with accessible toilets available to guests and assistance dogs welcome throughout the facility.
