Quingo Scooters Accessible Woodland Trails

As the days warm up and the weather improves, there is nothing better than getting out and about in the great British countryside. The UK’s forests and woodlands are wonderful at this time of the year, and the great news is that some of the best of them are also largely accessible to those of us using mobility scooters. So, with that in mind, here is Quingo Scooters guide to some of the best accessible woodland trails in the UK.

Haldon Forest Park, Devon

You really are spoiled for choice at Haldon Forest Park. It is handily situated close to Exeter, and is just a beautiful place to spend time with friends and family. There are a couple of designated trails (The Discovery Trail and the Mamhead Sensory Trail) that are perfect for those of us using mobility scooters, and you can even hire special off road scooters if you need to. Just give the team a call on 0300 067 5826 to discuss your requirements.

Low Barns, County Durham

A mixture of wetland nature reserve and beautifully peaceful woodland, Low Barns is a great place to explore on your scooter. It has excellent access throughout, with a wide network of level paths and a car park close by. There are three lakes here which are home to a huge amount of bird life and the woodlands also have hides which are perfect for spotting some of the local inhabitants: as well as the birds there are also roe deer and even otters to see if you’re lucky.

Montalto Estate, Northern Ireland

Over to Northern Ireland now to the stunning Montalto Estate near to Ballynahinch.

There are three trails here with varying levels of accessibility, and the Woodland Trail in particular is one of our favourites. It isn’t accessible all of the way around, but there is an incredible variety of wildlife to take in: everything from tree creepers and kingfishers through to greater spotter woodpeckers and (if you’re very lucky) even pine martens. The cafe is also completely accessible, and does an excellent afternoon tea.

Galloway Forest Park, Scotland

This huge forest has three visitor centres at Kirroughtree, Glentrool and Clatteringshaws and has everything from breathtaking views of the local lochs to some stunning woodland to explore. For those of us who use a mobility scooter, the Wild Watch Trail at Kirroughtree is a great place to start. It has a flat, firm surface and the trail takes you to a hide where you can watch the birds. Galloway Forest Park is also a very special place to visit at night: it is Scotland’s first designated Dark Sky Park, which means it is a wonderful spot look at the stars without any light pollution.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park

Finally, something a bit different. As well as the natural beauty of the woods and parkland here, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park is also packed with plenty of great art to discover. It is gorgeous in springtime, and well worth visiting with your mobility scooter. Although there are some parts of the woods and parkland that can be tricky to navigate, it is largely accessible, and there is also priority parking for Blue Badge holders. The woodland here is full of wildlife this time of year and the parkland is laid out in such a way that you will always find something new to discover.

The Ramblers also have links with another group who use mobility scooters and wheelchairs and you can find out more about their events and activities here.

Quingo Scooters Accessible Getaways Blackpool

Britain’s favourite seaside resort is world famous for its iconic Tower, its rich entertainment history and of course, ballroom dancing. Plus, it’s a really accessible city. Let’s take a quick getaway to Blackpool…

Sandcastle Water Park

It might seem like madness to begin this review of one of Britain’s best-known beach resorts with a review of an indoor waterpark, but bear with us. We’re choosing to feature the fabulous Sandcastle Water Park for a couple of reasons. Not least that the weather in Blackpool can’t always be relied on to provide perfect swimming conditions for all the family! But the main reason is the fabulous job the team there does in making this place as accessible and inclusive as possible. There are plenty of pool chairs available if you need help getting in to the water, and the accessible changing rooms are great. There are also lots of ‘Access For All Ambassadors’ who are never far away and ready to lend a hand should you need it. Very impressive indeed.

Stanley Park

We love Stanley Park. It is completely accessible, with tarmac paths throughout, and it is just one of those parks that seaside towns like Blackpool do so well. Within its 390-odd acres, there really is something for everyone. If you’re a nature lover, you will enjoy the Italian Gardens and the rose gardens. If you are heading along there with the kids, then they will have a great time exploring the Blackpool Model Village which is fully accessible with paved paths throughout. There’s crazy golf (of course) and much, much more. If all that activity sounds a bit much, then pay a visit to the beautiful Art Deco Café, which serves great food (including a gorgeous afternoon tea), and offers some lovely views of the park itself.

Blackpool Zoo

While you are in the area of Stanley Park then we also seriously recommend a trip to Blackpool Zoo. Once again, the team ensures that as much of the place is as accessible as possible. All of the enclosures are multilevel, so whether you want to get up close and personal with a lion or look a western lowland gorilla in the eye, this is the place. It is busy, as you’ll expect, but once again the designers made a real effort to create an environment that everyone can enjoy without it feeling too overwhelming. Very highly recommended, and a great way to wile away a few hours.

The Blackpool Tower

No trip to Blackpool is complete without a trip up the iconic Tower. It is a spectacular structure that dominates the beachfront, and it is worth making the effort to get to the top. The good news is that it is surprisingly straightforward to do this, even for those of us with limited mobility. There are lovely big lifts that will take you all the way up (and allow you to take in the 4D cinema experience on the way). However, it is once you are up at the viewing platform that the fun really starts, as you will be able to head out onto the glass floor to get a truly knee-wobbling perspective on the town below you. Not one for the faint of heart! While you are there, you should also pay a visit to the beautiful Tower Ballroom. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to take your mobility scooter in there but they do have free wheelchairs which you can use.

Comedy Carpet

Of course, most people will head straight for the Blackpool Tower, and rightly so. But before you go up, we  highly recommend you spare a few minutes to explore the Comedy Carpet in front of the Tower itself. Over two square kilometres in size, this work of art is made up of over 160,000 granite letters which together celebrate the many hundreds of comedians and writers who have performed here in Blackpool. It is a fantastic tribute to the funny men and women who are such an important part of the culture of the place.

Probably the best fish and chips in the world

This is the part where we usually review all of the best restaurants in whichever town or city we’re featuring. But when you’re in Blackpool, there really is only one thing you are going to want: fish and chips. So, this time, we’re giving a big mention to Taylor’s Fish and Chips cafe and takeaway, which is very popular with visitors and locals, it’s accessible, and has truly amazing fish and chips.

Accessible Parking

It is worth mentioning that there are a number of car parks in Blackpool with designated Blue Badge parking. You will find parking at the Houndshill Centre and there is also Central Car-parks which is open air, and close by the main sights like the Tower. You can also park on the street in the town for a short time.

Getting to Blackpool

Blackpool is easy to get to by car: just take Junction 32 off the M6, and then follow the M55 in to the city. It’s also well connected by train. Just catch a train to Blackpool from Preston, or take one of the direct services to Blackpool North from Manchester International Airport, Manchester Piccadilly, Manchester Victoria, Liverpool Lime Street or York.

Quingo Scooters Accessible Getaways Oxford

A beautiful city of dreaming spires, unique galleries and museums, wonderful public open spaces and of course a world-famous university: Oxford is a fantastic place to spend a few days. Here is our pick of some of the best accessible places to visit.

The Pitt Rivers Museum

No visit to Oxford is complete without a trip to the Pitt Rivers Museum. Augustus Henry Lane-Fox Pitt Rivers was a British Army officer who is world-renowned as one of founders of modern archaeology, and this museum is a celebration of his many discoveries. The fascinating thing that makes this museum so unique is its quirky organisation: artefacts are grouped by type rather than where they are from. It sounds a little chaotic, but it works: the place is a fascinating collection of many thousands of unique objects.

It is also remarkably accessible, with lifts and ramps throughout giving easy access to all areas. There is no parking at the museum, and the team suggest that if you are bringing your car that you park on a nearby street. There are also accessible park and ride services for the city from Headington, Redbridge, Abingdon Road, Pear Tree Roundabout, Water Eaton, Banbury Road, Kidlington and Seacourt at Botley (see below).

Ashmolean Museum

We hope you don’t mind us including another museum here, but as Oxford is such a centre of world learning it is no surprise that it also has some truly incredible collections. The Ashmolean is a museum of art and archaeology and has belonged to the University of Oxford since 1683, making it the oldest in the UK. It is absolutely packed with fascinating artefacts, including the Ballyshanon Sun Disc, one of the world’s earliest documented prehistoric objects.

The Ashmolean is fully accessible to everyone, and the team there have done a great job of making sure that everyone, of all levels of mobility, can enjoy the space. There are lifts to all floors, as well as step-free access to the shop, the accessible toilets, the café and the museum restaurant. You’ll find nine dedicated Blue Badge spaces in the museum car park too, three of which are directly outside the entrance.

Blenheim Palace

While it is a little way out of Oxford, it is still well worth making the effort to visit Blenheim Palace. This incredible building is the home of the Duke of Marlborough and was the birth place of Sir Winston Churchill. If that isn’t enough, it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a stunning example of Baroque architecture. Much of the palace and grounds are accessible but the best way to start your journey there is to give the team there a call on 0800 849 6500 to discuss your individual requirements. The Palace State Rooms are accessible on your scooter, and you can access them via a lift. There is also Blue Badge parking in the Palace’s main car park close to the Palace Courtyard entrance, and while is a little distance from the house it is a firm surface for your scooter.

Visit a college

Of course, Oxford is most well-known for its world-famous university. The university dominates the town, and so it is relatively easy to get a flavour of the place, but it is definitely worth paying one of its colleges a visit too if you can. Christ Church college for example has been around for around 500 years and it counts author Lewis Carroll as an alumnus. These are all old buildings of course, and so some of the college isn’t accessible, but much of it is. Scooter users can access the main gate (Tom Gate) beneath Tom Tower and explore the north and south sides of Tom Quad and the Cathedral (go in by the West Door). It is also possible to visit the historic Ante Hall.

Enjoy the peace of Christ Church meadow

Staying with Christ Church for a moment, we also recommend you pay a visit to the Christ Church meadow. This beautiful stretch of open land in the heart of the city is accessible to everyone and has a rich history of its own. It was once the scene of conflict in the Civil War, but is now home to a peaceful herd of cows. If you would like to visit the meadow, then you can access it via a ramp in the War Memorial Garden.

Enjoy a bite to eat

As you’d expect from a city that welcomes millions of visitors every year, Oxford is packed with great places to eat: and many of them are fully accessible. For a quick cheap eat we recommend Atomic Burger. It sells exactly what you’d expect, in a fun, quirky and fully accessible environment that the family will love.

For something a little more upmarket then the Cherwell Boathouse is hard to beat. The food is delicious (we recommend the slow braised venison with mash, chestnut purée and gorgeous macerated figs) and the restaurant is accessible, although we suggest giving them a call before you visit to discuss your individual requirements. There is an accessible toilet too. The Cherwell Boathouse also has 80 punts of its own to hire out, so if you’d like to try this traditional Oxford pastime of a leisurely sail yourself, just ask the team! They cost £17 per hour or £85 for a full day.

Getting to Oxford

If you’re flying from within the UK or the rest of the world, then there is a regular, 24-hour coach service from Heathrow and Gatwick. Stansted is a little trickier as you’ll need to get the Stansted Express train service to Liverpool Street and then the tube to either Paddington or Marylebone for direct trains to Oxford. There are also direct train services from Birmingham New Street, as well as routes in via Reading and Didcot.

If you’re coming by car, then we recommend you use one of the five Park and Ride sites on the edge of town as parking in town can be tricky. These are Oxford Parkway (north), Pear Tree (north), Redbridge (south), Thornhill (east) and Seacourt (west). If you want to bring your car into the city centre, it can be expensive, but a good place to plan your journey is Oxford council’s Blue Badge parking site here. To get to Oxford, you’ll need to take the M25 to the M40, before leaving at the A40 to head towards the city.

Quingo Scooters Accessible Routes: Lyme Regis

Here at Quingo Scooters, we certainly do love to be beside the seaside. And there are few better places to enjoy the UK’s wonderful coastline than Lyme Regis in Dorset. It is a small town, but one that promises visitors a dramatic and invigorating stay. Here are just a few of the great routes in and around Lyme Regis that are accessible to those of us using mobility scooters.

Exploring Lyme Regis

Lyme Regis is just one of those places that seems to inspire. Perhaps it is the drama of the Cobb, the spectacular Jurassic Coast, or maybe the candyfloss and the sea air, but there really is something very special about Lyme. From trails along the sea front to landscaped gardens and spectacular cliff top views, Lyme Regis really does have something for everyone.

Colourful Buildings in Lyme Regis - Quingo Scooters

 

Langmoor and Lister Gardens

This wonderful trail is a great way to get some truly spectacular views of Lyme Bay and the town of Lyme Regis. It is steep in parts, and with steps at some points, but there are alternative routes around these and it is possible to do a fully accessible circular route around the gardens. The gardens themselves are also gorgeous. There are bat boxes and bird houses to encourage the wildlife and a wonderful variety of plants that are popular not just with human visitors but also with the insects: keep an eye out for the beautiful Jersey Tiger Moth. Again, Lyme Regis isn’t huge, so any of the town centre car parks are suitable.

Along Lyme Regis seafront

Fish and chips, seagulls and the smell of the salty air: there is nothing quite like taking in the sights and sounds of the sea front at Lyme. This short trail takes you right along the front and is mostly flat all the way. It is a circular route and you can park in any of the six car parks in the town with accessible spaces (see below). It will take you past the world-famous Cobb, the huge stone wall that dominates the sea front at Lyme Regis. It plays a starring role in both Jane Austen’s novel Persuasion and the film The French Lieutenant’s Woman, so now is your chance to channel your inner Louisa Musgrove or Meryl Streep! The Cobb itself is cobbled though and the uneven surface may be uncomfortable for some scooter users.

Lyme Regis - Quingo Scooters

Lyme Regis Aquarium, The Cobb

While you are down by the sea front, we really recommend visiting the town’s aquarium. It is a great way to pass a few hours, especially if you are visiting Lyme Regis with the kids. We love it because of how close it allows you to get to some of the spectacular life of the Jurassic Coast. You can hold a starfish and feed a mullet, as well as discover more about this incredible coastline was formed over millions of years. There is level access throughout for mobility scooters, and you can park in any of the town’s central car parks. Find out more here.

The Cobb - Quingo Scooters

Lulworth Cove and Stair Hole

Lulworth Cove is about an hour’s easy drive east of Lyme Regis, but it is well worth making the effort to see this gorgeous stretch of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. Firstly, there is the journey itself, taking you through the stunning Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Once you are there, there is a car park with dedicated Blue Badge parking and an accessible toilet in the centre of the village. From there, there is a short section of the South West Coast Path National Trail that is fully accessible to those of using mobility scooters that takes in spectacular views of Lulworth Cove itself and the natural stone arches known as Stair Hole. You can find a detailed plan of the route here.

Accessibility

Lyme Regis is a seaside town, built on hills, so we won’t pretend that everything in the town is accessible to those of us using mobility scooters and wheelchairs. That said, much of it is, and there is actually a good deal of the town that you can visit easily. A great place to start your trip to Lyme Regis is the town’s dedicated accessibility page here. You will find lots of information about the accessible facilities in the town, including details of the six car parks. These are at Broad Street/Cobb Gate, which has 3 accessible spaces, Charmouth Road with 2, Holmbush with 8, Monmouth Beach/Cabanya with 13, Pitthouse with 1 and Woodmead Halls that has 2 accessible spaces. Blue Badge holders can also park on the sea front too.

Quingo Scooters Accessible Routes: The UK’s National Parks

Here at Quingo Scooters, we thought that this time around we’d bring you just a few highlights from some of the most picturesque and dramatic parts of the UK. Our National Parks are stunning and most feature great routes that are accessible to those of us who use mobility scooters. This is our pick of some of the best.

Accessing the UK’s National Parks

There are 15 National Parks across the UK, with 10 in England, three in Wales and two in Scotland. They are all free to explore and to enjoy, and they are all uniquely beautiful in their own way. From the inspirational surroundings of the Lake District and the drama of the Cairngorms, to the rich history of the New Forest and the castles of Snowdonia, there is a remarkable variety of landscapes. Everyone has their favourite, so it has been hard to pick our top National Park routes!

Before we dive in, however, it is worth mentioning that a great place to start your exploration of the UK’s National Parks is on the National Park Authority’s dedicated accessibility page, here.

Henllys Vale Miners’ Walk, Brecon Beacons National Park

Like many of our National Parks, the Brecon Beacons aren’t just a place of inspiring natural beauty. They also have a rich and varied heritage, that tells the story of how generations of people have interacted with these wild and beautiful places. This trail in the Henllys Vale area of the western Brecon Beacons is somewhere where you get the chance to learn more about the area’s fascinating industrial past.

Thousands of men and women worked in the mining industry in the area, and this mile-long audio trail starting and finishing in Ystradgynlais is a great way to learn more about the Lower Brynhenllys Colliery and the Black Mountain area. There is a smooth and continuous surface for most of the trail, and there are alternative routes if the path gets too steep for your scooter.

Quingo Scooters Accessible Routes: The UK’s National Parks

Buttermere lakeshore, Lake District National Park

Miles Without Stiles are routes that are accessible for people with limited mobility, and there are 48 of these fantastic trails in the Lake District National Park alone.

We’ve picked this one around Buttermere, not just because it is accessible for all, but also because of its truly stunning setting. Just driving in the car to Buttermere village, over the spectacular Newlands Pass, is an experience in itself (test your brakes before you set out!), and once you’re there the lovely Fish Inn makes for the perfect start and finish point.

It’s a short route, only around a kilometre and a half along the lakeside and through the woods before the path becomes too rough for scooter users, but it is a beautiful place to experience and the lakeside itself is wonderfully peaceful.

Quingo Scooters Accessible Routes: The UK’s National Parks

Bramber village, South Downs National Park

The South Downs, with their rolling, chalky hills and beautiful views are well worth a visit. Happily they also have a number of Miles Without Stiles routes and we’ve picked this gorgeous route around the village of Bramber The village itself is a typical South Downs community with some lovely historic buildings and even its own medieval castle.

The 2-mile trail takes you along the river Adur and it has a wide, level surface all the way. There are even kingfishers along the way, so keep your eyes out for that little flash of blue.

Quingo Scooters Accessible Routes: The UK’s National Parks

Loch Imrich, Newtonmore

The Cairngorms is the biggest National Park in the UK, and it is truly spectacular. There are 12 Easy Access routes in the national park, but we’ve picked just one, around Loch Imrich in Newtonmore. Apparently, the loch was once used for curling during the winter months and it still a beautiful spot to pass the time.

The trail is flat and accessible to all, and goes right around the lake for about half a mile. It’s a great place to get away from it all and enjoy the local birdlife, that includes herons, mallard, coot, dabchicks and even goldeneye ducks.

Accessibility for all

Once again, the National Parks Authority’s Access for All page is a great place to get an overview of all the accessible routes that are available across the UK’s parks network. You can also keep up with news on the work that the Campaign for National Parks (the UK’s only charity that works to protect the country’s National Parks) is doing to promote accessibility for all on their page here.
