Accessibility:
There is limited on-site parking for blue badge holders, however this is not always accessible due to the local shopping areas being pedestrianised. There is blue badge holder parking in nearby Wood Street, and also parking in Borough Road car park. Parts of the cathedral were built in medieval times so not all parts were designed for people with disabilities, however as much as possible there have been adaptions made to provide accessibility including ramps at level changes. There are toilets including disability toilets which are wheelchair-accessible and include baby-changing facilities. A hearing induction loop system is installed. Assistance dogs are welcome.
