Barrow itself and the Town Centre is very flat and excellent for wheelchair users. There are large areas of pedestrianised streets and where it is necessary to cross a road dropped kerbs have been installed. The small Market Town of Dalton in Furness also has wide pavements but there is a bit of a hill which can be a challenge. The area is well served by Stagecoach local bus services with low access buses.
Disabled badge holders may park free of charge for up to three hours on any pay and display car park in the Borough.
Barrow and District Disability Association are a wonderful resource in the town and very helpful and friendly. Give them a ring on 01229 432599. They will be able to give you advice on wheelchair hire, etc.
