The duration of JCB's Factory Tour is approximately 2 hours 30 minutes and covers nearly 3 miles therefore individuals with walking difficulties may find the tour unsuitable.

JCB is a wheelchair friendly site, however your Tour Guide is responsible for the welfare of the entire group and as such, we ask anybody in a wheelchair to organise their own assistance within the group, if they are unable to manoeuvre themselves.

No food or drink can be consumed on site unless pre-booked as part of a Tour Package.

Enduringly popular since it was first built in 1991, it's been continually developed for more than 30 years - and is trusted by farmers the world over.
