Please
note that we are currently designing a new temporary ramp
for the front of Victoria Baths. Until this is in place there
are 6 steps to the entrance of the building and there is ramped access to the rear of the building. Most
of the building can be seen from the ground floor.
There are
limited toilet facilities (no fully wheelchair accessible
toilet).
