Top Accessible Holiday Destinations In The UK Revealed!

One issue facing many disabled people when they travel is accessibility, both at accommodation and attractions. 

However, the Sun recently pointed out that some of the UK’s top tourist regions perform very well on accessibility, making them excellent choices for disabled visitors who want to enjoy a getaway without feeling excluded from activities or attractions.

At the top of the list is Brighton, which is described as “one of England’s most inclusive destinations”. 

For example, Brighton Palace Pier is accessible, with easy wheelchair access from the car park to the pier’s restaurants and bars. The British Airways i360 Tower is also a great choice for disabled visitors, with its wheelchair-friendly lift allowing everyone to ascend the tower and enjoy the views.

The West Country, meanwhile, is another good choice for those with disabilities. You could even go caving in the Mendip Hills with one company that has experience of providing tours to visitors of all abilities. 

M Shed museum in Bristol was also singled out for its accessible features, which include its spoken announcements and wheelchair-accessible lifts. 

Comedian Rosie Jones, who has cerebral palsy, travelled around the UK to stress test a range of activities for disabled people to help create this list.

“I wanted to celebrate the places and the activities that are accessible for disabled people. I also wanted to show that just because a person is disabled, it doesn’t mean that they have got to have a boring holiday,” she said. 

If your business wants to attract more disabled visitors, start by investing in bespoke platform lifts to ensure all parts of your location are accessible. 

We recently explained why electric platform lifts are a particularly good choice for wheelchair users, and how they can help people of varying physical abilities. Benefits include making life easier and helping people be more independent, as well as reducing the chances of falls and injuries.
