The Eden Project has been named the country’s best visitor attraction for inclusivity at the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence.

It won the category for Inclusive Tourism at a ceremony at the Waldorf Hilton Hotel in central London this week.

Gordon Seabright, Eden’s managing director, said: ’We are so proud to win this national award for all the work we do on inclusivity to enable everyone to visit Eden.’

Eden runs a number of accessibility schemes for visitors from providing easy access into what was once an old clay mine, to enabling visitors to view the treetops of the largest rainforest in captivity.
