Accessible Herefordshire CIC was pleased to celebrate the re surfacing of the Grange circular pathway with local community groups in Leominster in January.
“We are delighted to be able to access this wheelie friendly trail in Leominster. There is good parking nearby with easy access from town. It’s a great even, flat surface away from traffic for wheelchairs, pushchairs, bikes and mobility scooters to roam without getting too muddy. Refreshments and an accessible, spacious loo are also nearby at Grange Court and public toilets at the entrance to the Grange – It’s perfect for a quick, easy, accessible blast of fresh air! The Priory church is open and is ramped inside so visitors can access parts of this historic church. This part of town is a haven way from the traffic and the uneven pavements of Leominster town which we understand are in line next for drastic overhauling.”
Vicky, Director Accessible Herefordshire
