Bradford Cathedral, largely built in the 15th century on a steep hillside, includes Victorian and 20th‑century additions with several sets of steps and narrow spaces that cannot accommodate ramps. The team apologises for these limitations and continues to work toward improving accessibility. Visitors with specific accessibility requirements are encouraged to contact maggie.myers@bradfordcathedral.org.
Further details on travel, parking and accessibility can be found on the Cathedral’s website.
