Looking for some holiday destination inspiration?  No problem!  Check out our top five accessible venues around the UK.

The Eden Project: Cornwall, England

It’s been hailed as “Cornwall’s Eighth Wonder of the World” and the Eden Project certainly doesn’t disappoint.  Inside its two vast domes is an array of gardens and nature to transport visitors around the globe.  Choose to delve into the exotic rainforests of South America or to the arid landscapes of Western Australia.  Eden Project has won multiple awards for its fantastic accessibility – featuring wide, tarmacked trails for wheelchair users.  Free manual and powered wheelchairs are available to book in advance – with manual wheelchairs welcome on the on-site ice rink.  Yes, it even has an ice rink!  Book early to avoid disappointment.

Titanic Experience: Belfast, Northern Ireland

For an accessible UK city break, Belfast boasts culture, history, nightlife and great accessibility.  Shop ‘til you drop at the wheelchair friendly Victoria Square or book a spot to visit the acclaimed Titanic Experience for a fascinating exploration of the legacy of the iconic vessel.  The attraction supports visitors with a range of disabilities, including providing sensory guides, VIP wristbands for extra assistance, level access and a wheelchair accessible car in the immersive Shipyard Ride.

Brecon Cruise: Brecon, Wales

Stop the clocks for a peaceful and leisurely break in the Brecon Beacons, Wales.  This beautiful spot features gorgeous scenery and a slower pace.  Local tour company, Dragonfly Cruises charter wheelchair accessible canal boat trips along the stunning Monmouth & Brae canal.  Onboard, take in the views as you glide along the historic waterway and enjoy the colourful designs of passing narrowboats.  The cruisers are equipped with a wheelchair lift, making them safe and easy to enter for wheelchair users.

Scotch Whisky Experience: Edinburgh, Scotland

Head north of the border to learn about (and sample of course) Scotland’s national drink at the Scotch Whisky Experience.  Crowned the 2018 winner of ‘Venue of the Year’ by Euan’s Guide, the disabled access review website, wheelchair accessibility is at the forefront of this incredible attraction.  Be sure to try the wheelchair accessible ‘Barrel Ride’ which takes you through the production of scotch whisky.  If whisky isn’t your tipple, don’t worry.  There’s always the chance to sip Scotland’s other national drink on your travels – Irn Bru!

For lovers of the sweet stuff, the family friendly Cadbury’s World in Birmingham is sure to delight.  Travel back in time to the Victorian era and visit the street where the company first began or experience the wheelchair accessible 4D cinema adventure to immerse yourself in chocolatey fun.  Cadbury’s World caters well for disabled visitors with free entry for your carer or PA if they’re accompanying you, accessible parking, a Changing Place facility, low level desks and priority access for those with mobility issues.  For an accessibility guide to browse before you go, head to the Cadbury’s World website.
