It is approximately 1 mile long, and includes multiple flights of stairs or lifts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Arrive at the Cromwell Road entrance and head to the Welcome Desk to start the trail. There will be V&amp;A staff on hand to guide you and a step-free route is available.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
