    Very Good Accessibility, Great Staff

    The mills are the original 200 year old buildings and have been made as accessible as possible. There are interactive displays and staff on hand to give further information and help whenever needed. The whole site is on a hill but the interior of the buldings are flat and/or ramped. We were given a map showing the best accessible route when inside the buildings including where the lifts and toilets were.
