Is The Walking Shop wheelchair accessible?
Yes. The entrance to The Walking Shop has a call bell outside which alerts a member of staff to greet you and set up the ramp, since there are 2 steps present. The entrance door is wide, measuring 850mm, with a small threshold lip of 20mm and a handrail for stability on one side. Inside, there is very good wheelchair circulation space and full-length mirrors.
