We want to make everyone’s visit to Gloucester an enjoyable and comfortable experience. Known for its heritage and abundance of historical buildings, Gloucester is still an accessible and vibrant place to visit with centrally located railway and bus stations. Many of Gloucester’s businesses and services are accessible and getting around is easy as the city centre and Gloucester Docks are both relatively flat. For people with limited mobility, Gloucester Shopmobility provides a wide range of facilities which you can book in advance of your visit.
Accessibility Reviews
We have worked with Accessible Gloucestershire to review the facilities and measures businesses have put in place to welcome all visitors. Their comprehensive guide features in-depth reviews for accommodation providers, tourism and leisure attractions, restaurants, cafes, pubs, shopping centres, public transport and public toilets. Accessible Gloucestershire not only looks at ramps, disabled toilets and parking facilities, but also take into account considerations such as:
- Accessibility - including step-free access, lifts, hearing loops;
- Braille and large print restaurant menus;
- Customer service and training.
Accessible Accommodation
You can find accessible rooms in many of Gloucester’s hotels, B&Bs and self-catering accommodation providers. Some hotels also feature facilities such as wet room bathrooms and low beds. To ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible, we always recommend that you always contact the accommodation providers prior to booking to confirm they have the full level of accessibility you require.
