Welcome to our ACCESSIBLE TOURISM options.

A good place to start planning your holiday is to establish the accommodation that best suits your needs and then look beyond that to the activities, cafes and events that you might like to enjoy while on your travels.
Below we have listed those local businesses from accommodation providers to entertainment that identify themselves as being accessible. Each has made a commitment on their website to specifically advise their patrons of the accessibility and inclusive services they provide.

There are NO cafes listed below as most claim to be wheelchair accessible however when you look at the true accessibility of their bathroom they are often found wanting. A list will be developed following a visual assessment.
