Pubs & bars — wheelchair access

Historic pubs are part of what makes Ironbridge Gorge special, but many were built centuries before modern accessibility standards. This guide helps you plan ahead by showing wheelchair access, accessible toilets, parking and any known limitations for every pub and bar across the Gorge. If you're unsure, we always recommend contacting the venue before travelling.

Accessibility information can change at short notice — entrances, toilets and parking are sometimes altered or temporarily out of use. Please treat this guide as a planning tool and contact the venue directly if access is essential to your visit.
