3 days in Chester: an accessible itinerary
3 days For wheelchair & limited mobility Built from visitor-rated places
This three-day plan is for wheelchair users and anyone with limited mobility. Every attraction on it states disabled access, and each lunch stop has a 5/5 food hygiene rating. Day 1 is compact, with lunch just 0.9 miles from the morning's aquarium. The trip widens after that: day 2 starts 30.8 miles away, and day 3 begins with a 41.6-mile journey to Liverpool. Once you arrive, though, its stops are only 0.3 and 0.4 miles apart.
For a Chester base, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Spa Chester and Travelodge both state disabled access. The DoubleTree is 1.3 miles from Chester station, the nearest station if you're arriving by train, and Travelodge is pet friendly. A stated access policy isn't the whole picture, so check parking, accessible toilets and lifts directly with each place before booking. The pubs haven't listed access details, so it's worth ringing ahead about step-free entry.

Day 1
A short-hop day: Blue Planet Aquarium to the Grace Arms is just 0.9 miles, then it's 6 miles on to the Cheshire Military Museum. Both attractions state disabled access, but call the Grace Arms ahead about step-free entry and accessible toilets.
Day 2
Waterworld is 30.8 miles from the previous afternoon's stop, so allow for the journey and a rest on arrival. From there it's 1.6 miles to the Moorland Inn (5/5 hygiene) and 2.7 miles to Brampton Museum. Check accessible parking and changing facilities at Waterworld before you go.
Day 3
The 41.6-mile journey to World Museum Liverpool is the longest of the trip, but after that everything is close: The Welkin is 0.3 miles away and the Museum of Liverpool a further 0.4 miles. Confirm lifts and accessible parking with both museums, and check The Welkin's access before you arrive.
