3 days in Shropshire: an accessible itinerary
3 days For wheelchair & limited mobility Built from visitor-rated places
This three-day plan is built for wheelchair users and anyone with limited mobility. Every attraction and every place to stay on it states disabled access. Day 1 is a single unhurried stop at Rodbaston Animal Zone. Day 2 pairs The Black Country Living Museum with Dudley Zoo & Castle, just 0.5 miles apart. Day 3 keeps things close together: Waterworld, then lunch at Brindley Farm (under a quarter of a mile away, with a 5/5 food hygiene rating), then Brampton Museum 1 mile on.
The one longer leg is the 35.8-mile drive at the start of Day 3, so plan a comfortable break. If you're arriving by train, Shrewsbury is the nearest station to Shropshire, and the Premier Inn there is just 0.2 miles from it. The pet-friendly Travelodge at Telford Southwater is 0.6 miles from Telford Central. Stated access is a starting point, so check parking, toilets and lifts with each place before you book.

Day 1
A gentle start: Rodbaston Animal Zone is the day's only stop, so there's no driving between attractions and you can go at your own pace. Check accessible parking and toilets with them before you set off.
Day 2
The Black Country Living Museum is 12.5 miles from Day 1's stop, and Dudley Zoo & Castle is just 0.5 miles away for the afternoon. Ask both about lifts, step-free routes and accessible toilets before booking.
Day 3
Allow time for the 35.8-mile drive to Waterworld, the longest of the trip. Brindley Farm is under a quarter of a mile away for lunch (5/5 hygiene rating, open Mo-Su 08:00-23:00), and Brampton Museum is 1 mile on. Brindley Farm doesn't list disabled access in our data, so please ring ahead to check.
