Accessibility
Worcestershire welcomes accessibility for all.
Worcestershire is one of England's most beautiful counties, centrally located in the heart of the Country.
Worcestershire sits on the M5 motorway network as well as benefitting from both GWR, Cross Country and West Midlands Rail Connections.
Despite the historical nature of some of our urban areas, many of Worcestershire’s buildings and services are accessible. Worcestershire has a range of services available for those in need of extra support during their time in the county as well as an excellent range of hotels, B&Bs and self-catering options to accommodate guests with access and equipment needs.
We want everyone to enjoy Worcestershire and to be able to find information on things to do and staycation ideas easily. The website not only allows you to toggle for ‘accessibility’ settings for ease of web access but we have also categorised our attractions and accommodation by accessibility needs to enable you to easily find fun things to do, that suit your needs. Please check out our ‘explore’ pages and use the categories function to search.
