Accessible getaways: Best accessible Christmas tours and trails

Looking to get out and about this festive season? Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, and a good time to explore the great outdoors.

From sherry tours to magnificent gardens, woodland trails to unique Advent calendars, there’s something for everyone. Here is Quingo Scooter’s guide to the very best accessible Christmas tours and trails.

Countdown to Christmas with the Living Advent Calendar, Saltaire

If you want a unique and accessible Christmas experience, then this Advent trail in Saltaire, West Yorkshire, is one of the best. Saltaire is a special place – a purpose-built village for the workers at nearby Salt’s Mill.

We think their Living Advent Calendar trail is a wonderful idea. Each year, houses in this historic place decorate their windows with a new opening, every night from 1 December. They open in turn through to 24 December. They’re endlessly inventive and well worth exploring. However, bear in mind that if you want to see the full trail then you’ll need to visit after 24 December!

While you’re there, why not pop into Salt’s Mill itself? Today, there’s an art gallery, bookshop and an excellent restaurant in this former industrial space. It’s also fully accessible with lifts to all floors.

It’s worth saying that it is hilly in Saltaire (it’s Yorkshire, after all). There is also one cobbled street (Albert Terrace) too. But the village itself is generally accessible, particularly for those of us using a mobility scooter. You can find out more about accessible facilities here.

Transport yourself to a Winter Wonderland

Every year, London’s Hyde Park is transformed into something truly magical. Of course, it is a great city park at any time of the year. But when the Winter Wonderland arrives in town, it’s well worth a visit. It’s a wonderful experience, not just for the kids but for people of all ages.

Of course, if you are visiting with family then there is plenty here to keep the little ones entertained. From spectacular circus acts to a big wheel, you’re spoiled for choice. But it is a wonderful place to just get into the Christmas mood too. The park itself is beautiful at this time of year. It is a lovely place to just wrap up warm and explore. It is also completely accessible to all.

The Winter Wonderland itself is free, and there are over 100 Christmas stalls to browse for last-minute gifts. These sell everything from jewellery to Christmas treats to keep you going. There are a number of ticketed attractions however, so make sure you book ahead for these. For more accessibility information, check out their dedicated page here.

Explore the light trail at RHS Garden Wisley

RHS Wisley is one of the most renowned gardens in the world and is a wonderful place to visit at any time of the year. There is a huge amount to explore here, from its world-class plant collections to seasonal events such as a magical Christmas light trail.

The light installations are inspired by the plants and trees in the garden and are truly beautiful, especially on these dark winter nights. Follow the accessible trail from the welcome building. 

Once you’ve taken in the light trail, there is still plenty to keep you busy. The restaurant here is excellent, as is the plant centre where you can get advice from some of the best in the business. They’re all fully accessible to mobility scooter users too.

Blow away the cobwebs with a Boxing Day trail in Brighton’s Stanmer Park

After a few days of over-indulgence, there is nothing quite like getting out and enjoying some fresh air. Of course, there are a huge number of accessible trails right across the country, and we’ve picked out some of our favourites in a previous post.

But for this festive season, we recommend the lovely Stanmer Park near to Brighton. It is a five-mile trail though beautifully peaceful woodland. There are a few hills but the trail is firm and accessible.

The surroundings are peaceful, and a day out here is the perfect way to recharge your batteries. If you’re looking to finish the trail with a meal, then the Swan Inn in Falmer does affordable, no-nonsense pub grub.

Quingo Scooters Accessible Castles

The UK’s many castles are a huge draw for visitors both from home and abroad, and the great news is that many of them accessible for all, even despite their great age. Here, Quingo Scooters takes a tour of the country’s finest.

Windsor Castle

We had to start with a castle that isn’t just one of the nation’s favourites, but also the one that the Queen herself calls home. Windsor Castle was first founded by William the Conqueror just after the Norman Invasion and since then 39 different kings and queens have lived there – although you probably won’t be lucky enough to see the Queen herself when you visit.

But, from the sumptuous State Apartments (which were intended to out-do the French king’s palace at Versailles) to the outfits worn by Harry and Meghan on their big day, there’s still plenty of fascinating royal history to explore. You will be able to visit most of the castle in your scooter or a wheelchair, although bear in mind the castle itself is at the top of a steep hill, and unfortunately the only disabled parking available is on Windsor High Street itself, a short distance from the castle.  We’d recommend giving them a call before you visit on 0303 123 7324 to discuss any other needs you might have.

Alnwick Castle

We’re heading north now, to Northumberland and the spectacular Alnwick Castle. This incredible place looks almost as if it could have come straight out of a Hollywood director’s sketch of what an English castle should look like, so it is no surprise that it has been the star of everything from Harry Potter to Blackadder over the years. Alnwick Castle has been home to the Percy family for 700 years, from Harry Hotspur, the first Earl, through to Ralph Percy who is the current Duke. The team there have done a great job of making as much of this ancient building as accessible as possible, with good access to the grounds, an accessible Castle Shop and Courtyard Café and a lift to the State Rooms. There are six Blue Badge designated disabled parking spaces on Castle Square in Alnwick, as well as at the nearby Denwick Lane car park.

Alnwick Castle - Quingo Scooters

Cringletie House

Now for a castle that you can actually stay in. Cringletie House in Peebles, Scotland is now a hotel that has won awards for the effort that the team have put into making it accessible for all. Set in nearly 30 acres of stunning countryside only 50 minutes from Edinburgh, Cringletie House was first built in the 1600s, and while it fell into disrepair for some years, today it is still a wonderful example of Scottish baronial architecture. The team at Cringletie have made a number of rooms with en-suite bathrooms accessible for guests with mobility needs and you will also find ramped access to the entrance as well as the bar and restaurant too. There is also ample disabled parking.

Muncaster Castle

Birds of prey, a dramatic castle and incredible Himalayan gardens: Muncaster Castle in the Lake District has it all. Unsurprisingly, given its location, it is hilly, but it is also generally accessible for those of us using a mobility scooter or wheelchair. The ground floor of the castle itself is accessible, and much of the magnificent estate has either tarmac or gravel paths, including the gardens, the Hawk & Owl Centre and the Meadowvole Maze. It’s a beautiful place in a wonderful setting (and like all the best castles, it even has its own ghost, known as ‘Tom Fool’, if the legends are to be believed).

Muncaster Castle - Quingo Scooters

General castle accessibility

Of course, all of these castles are ancient, historic buildings that are by their very nature often tough to adapt to modern needs. With that in mind, it is always best to just give the team at your chosen castle a call to see if there is anything that they can do to make access on the day of your visit easier. It may be that while some areas of the castle are usually out of bounds, with a little bit of notice they can plan ahead to accommodate visitors with different mobility needs.

Quingo Scooters Accessible Attractions: 5 of The Best British Beaches

As an island nation, the UK has had a long love affair with the seaside. A trip to the beach is as British as, well, fish and chips. But it’s also something that those of us who use a mobility scooter may have avoided in the past. The perception was that many beaches might not be all that accessible, and that sand or pebbles aren’t best suited to four wheels. Happily, things are changing, and here, as part of our Accessible Attractions series, Quingo Scooters is heading to the beach. Don’t forget your bucket and spade!

What’s On

With over 10,000 miles of coastline in the British Isles, it’s fair to say there’s plenty of choice out there. But here are just five of the best and most accessible beaches in the UK.

  1. Broadhaven Beach. Pembrokeshire

Pembrokeshire is breathtakingly picturesque. In fact, many of Wales’ beaches are stunning, with the kind of wild beauty that you’d usually expect to have to fly to the south of France to see. Broadhaven is one of our favourites, not least because it is so accessible. When the tide is out, it’s big and flat, with plenty of room for you to explore on your scooter. The sand is lovely and firm, but if you’re feeling nervous about taking your scooter out onto the beach itself you can also hire all-terrain beach wheelchairs to get around in. We recommend you give Haven Sports Surf shop a call on 01437 781354 or visit their website here to book your all-terrain chair. There’s a car park with 200 spaces (although no dedicated ones for Blue Badge holders, unfortunately). If you’re travelling by car just follow the B4341 west of Haverfordwest, or you can also take a train to the nearest station at Milford Haven.

  1. Gyllyngvase Beach, Cornwall

Another gorgeous stretch of sand as well as rock pools that are perfect for exploring. There’s plenty of parking nearby (around 100m from the beach) with Blue Badge spaces, as well as straightforward level access onto the beach itself. Again, if you’re not too keen on taking the scooter out onto the sand then you can hire Sand Chairs from the cafe Gylly Beach Cafe. Just incidentally, they also have fantastic cakes and bread (fresh from their bakery on the beach) as well as some delicious dishes for later, after a hard day out on the sand. Gyllyngvase Beach is simple to get to: the M4, M5 and M6 will all bring you into Cornwall, and then follow the A30 to Truro, following signs for Falmouth. Once you get to Falmouth just follow the signs directing you to the beach. There are also plenty of regular rail services into Falmouth Town train station.

  1. North Berwick, East Lothian, Scotland

Of course, one of the biggest draws for any visitor to North Berwick is that’s it’s only 25 miles or so from the beautiful city of Edinburgh. But North Berwick itself is well worth a visit, not least for its accessible beach. The town itself is very historic and was once a fashionable resort for the wealthy inhabitants of the Scottish capital up the road. Today, its harbour is still a lovely place to take in the magnificent Firth of Forth, which features some spectacular islands such as Fidra, The Lamb, Craigleith, and of course Bass Rock which is home to thousands of puffins and gannets. But you’ll also fall in love with the beach here. We recommend heading to the Beach Hut on the Harbour that belongs to Beach Wheelchairs where the team will be happy to hire you one of their all-terrain chairs for the sand. There is free parking right on the harbour (although there’s only five spaces, there are designated Blue Badge spots). Find out more here. North Berwick is easy to reach from Edinburgh, which has its own international airport and there are extensive rail connections from Edinburgh Waverley station to North Berwick. There’s an hourly train service run by Abellio Scotrail, or if you’re looking to drive then just follow the A1 east.

  1. Langland Bay, Gower Peninsula, Wales

Another beautiful Welsh beach, this time on the Gower Peninsula. This one is lined with colourful beach huts for that classic seaside feel, and the best thing about Langland is that is completely accessible to everyone who wants to enjoy it. The nearest parking is at Langland Bay Road, where you’ll find 265 spaces. Blue Badge holders have designated bays and a concessionary price: you can park for four hours for £1.50 or all day for £3.00, and if you want to venture out on the sand then you can also reserve an all terrain wheelchair by calling 01792 655 844 to find out more.

If you tire of the stunning beaches at Langland, we also recommend taking time to check out the gorgeous Clyne Gardens. They’re free, open all hours and contain several National Collections of plants (including the tallest Magnolia in Britain!), all within some lovely parkland. Langland Bay beach is easily accessible from Mumbles. There are hourly trains from Cardiff to Swansea and then Mumbles is a short taxi ride away. If you’re coming by car, then Langland Bay is a five-minute drive from Mumbles. Take the M4 and then junction 42 for the road to Swansea Bay.

  1. Bournemouth Beach

Bournemouth’s sea front is one of the most famous and most popular beaches in the UK and with good reason. One of the most accessible beaches we’ve come across, Bournemouth council have made a real effort to open the beach up for the enjoyment of all. A great place to start for more information is the dedicated accessibility page here. One of the best features of the beach is the accessible Beach Huts.

Each one has enough room for four wheelchair users, as well as an electric scooter charging point, designated Blue Badge parking bays, level wooden pathways to the beach and a Changing Places facility with a bed, toilet, sink, shower and tracking hoist. If you’d like to book one, or just find out more, give them a call on 01202 451781.

The cliff tops above the beach are also accessible to scooter users via cliff lifts. The views are spectacular and the lifts themselves are also quite an experience: the first ones were built in 1908! It’s £1.50 for an adult and any carers go free. Once you’re at the top, we really recommend you pop in to the Russell Cotes Gallery and Museum. It’s one of the last Victorian homes built in Britain and it is a fascinating time capsule.

Bournemouth is easily accessible by car. From London, take M25, M3, M27 and then the A31 and the A338 to Bournemouth. Bournemouth’s train station has regular services from London (see here for more details) and the town also has its own international airport. For more information on getting from the airport into town, read about the shuttle service here.

Quingo Scooters Accessible Getaways: A Day Out In Chester

The Monty Python team once famously posed the question: ‘What did the Romans ever do for us?’ Well, to the long list of sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system and public health, you can add the fine city of Chester. But it’s not only a beautiful historic city, it’s also a highly accessible one.

In the latest instalment of our Accessible Getaways series, Quingo Scooters looks at some of the great things that you can do in Chester.

Visiting Chester

Firstly, we should take a moment to celebrate the huge lengths that Chester has gone to in making so much of the city as accessible to as many people as possible. The city was the first in the UK to be awarded a European Access City Award, which recognises the effort a city goes to in order to make it accessible for all. It’s open to all EU cities with over 50,000 people, and considering the peculiarities of Chester’s historic centre, we think that this is a pretty impressive achievement. For an overview of just how accessible the city is, head online to find out more. Here’s our pick of some of the best things to do while you’re there.

  1. Explore the Walls

We recommend exploring the two miles of Roman, Saxon and medieval walls that surround the city. It’s a great way to get a lay of the land and to see some of its most famous sites, such as the cathedral, and best of all the walls are largely accessible. Access points vary, with some stepped, ramped or have level access, and there are some steps along the way. If you need to park, Blue Badge holders can stay free for up to four hours on any of the City Council’s pay and display car parks, except for Trinity Street. There are also two Blue Badge parking areas on Frodsham Street and Hamilton Place. To find out more, take a look here.

  1. Take in Chester Rows

Chester has a unique set of elevated passageways known as Chester Rows, which have allowed for multi-level shopping since at least the 13th century. With six access points and a route around them that is completely accessible, many shops are at ground level, while others need to be accessed by steps. There is plenty more information in the handy Chester City Centre Access guide, that can be downloaded for free here.

  1. Soak up some culture at the Storyhouse

Whether you want to go and see a film, catch a play or just stop for a coffee, the Storyhouse is a must visit when you come to Chester. There’s everything from stage versions of musical favourites through to screenings of classic films, talks by renowned authors and cutting edge contemporary dance. The entire building, from its library to the theatre, cinema and studio, is completely accessible by lift. It’s a real model for how well a building can be designed to make sure everyone can enjoy the space. The Market car park has 8 Blue Badge spaces, and there is free on street parking on Hamilton Place and Goss Street. To find out more, take a look at their accessibility page here.

Where to stay

You’re spoiled for choice for places to stay in this beautiful city. Take your pick from places like the Grosvenor in the heart of the historic town, which has reserved Blue Badge holder parking, through to The King’s Suites at the Premier Queen Hotel, which has two accessible rooms, ramped access and designated parking.

Eating out

If you’re looking for somewhere to eat in Chester, then there are the usual suspects like Cafe Rouge and lovely old pubs like the Grosvenor Arms that has been around since 1864, and the Old Harkers Arms. Both do great food and are well worth a visit.

Getting there

Chester is straightforward to get to if you’re coming by car, with links from the M6, M56 and the M53. By air, you’re only 40 minutes from Manchester Airport and Liverpool John Lennon, and by rail you can use Arriva Trains or it’s a short trip from Crewe where there are plenty of connections too.

Quingo Scooters Accessible Getaways: A Day Out In Belfast

Despite its challenging history, Belfast is fast becoming a hugely popular tourist destination for those looking to get away for a few days. There is certainly plenty to see and do. In the latest of our Accessible Getaways series, Quingo Scooters looks at just a few of the fantastic things you can enjoy during a few days in this great city.

Exploring Belfast

Where to start? There’s so much to explore in Belfast’s various quarters, from the cobbled streets around its cathedral and its Game of Thrones connection to the hundreds of great bars and restaurants and of course its sites of historic and cultural importance like the Peace Walls and its many murals. Here’s our pick.

  1. Go for a Black Cab tour

It’s not just London that’s famed for its black cabs. Belfast has its own version too and hiring one for a tour is a great way to get an insight into this fascinating city, its history and its culture. Like in London, Belfast cabbies always have plenty to say, so you’re sure to learn a lot about the city along the way. So much of the city’s history, good and bad, has come down to the significance of different areas and the relationships between communities, and few people understand the geography, and people, of a city better than a cab driver.

The cabs used by Belfast Taxi Tours, one of a number of operators, are all fully accessible. We recommend contacting them directly to discuss your particular requirements here.

  1. Visit the birthplace of the Titanic

The loss of the Titanic is one of the most enduring and tragic stories in maritime history and it began in the Harland & Wolff shipyards in Belfast. After the decline of shipbuilding in the city (a tragic story in itself), the land was transformed into the Titanic Quarter. Today, it’s home to Titanic Belfast, home of the world’s largest Titanic visitor experience. The museum tells the Titanic story across nine different galleries and you can even walk on the decks of the last White Star vessel, the SS Nomadic. The Slipways themselves, where the great ships were once launched, is also an unmissable experience. It was awarded Europe’s Leading Tourist Attraction and the World’s Leading Tourist Attraction by the World Tourism Awards a couple of years ago, and its easy to see why.

As you’d expect from one of Europe’s leading attractions, the Titanic Belfast is fully accessible. You won’t be able to take your scooter onto the Shipyard Ride, but other than that all attractions are easily accessed via level access. There are also lifts to all levels. Blue Badge holders do have to pay for parking here – there are ten accessible spaces available. Find out more here.

  1. Take in the Peace Walls and Murals

Around half of the people who died during The Troubles in Northern Ireland did so in Belfast, and the city still bears the scars of that conflict today. A visit to the Peace Walls is an important reminder of that past, and the way in which the city was once divided. The Northern Irish government has said it will remove them all by 2023, but it is a hugely controversial subject. The barriers were built to separate Protestant and Catholic communities, and today along with the city’s many murals it is well worth taking time to see them. The best way to visit the walls and the powerful murals that have been painted on many city buildings is to take a Black Cab tour.

The walls and murals are on typical residential Belfast streets and roads, so in that sense they are easily accessible. However, if you’re taking a Black Cab tour – which we recommend – the cabs are also fully accessible.

  1. The Ulster Museum

From dinosaurs to Egyptian mummies, meteorites to beautifully polished stone axes and treasure from the Spanish Armada, the Ulster Museum is a must visit. There’s an exhibition on The Troubles, and a Game of Thrones tapestry, as well as the peaceful Botanical Gardens next door where you can relax afterwards.

The Museum car park is free for Blue Badge holders, and there are five designated bays available. Some of the surfaces leading to the entrance are uneven, so you may need some assistance, but the museum itself is fully accessible with a lift to all floors. To find out more, visit here for a full guide.

Where to stay

There are plenty of places to stay in Belfast, from great B&Bs to stunning 5 star hotels. We recommend the city centre if you’re staying a few days, to cut down on travel time, but the historic Cathedral Quarter also makes for a more interesting alternative. It’s packed with great cafes and pubs too. Queens Quarter is more focused around students, but is still a vibrant place to base yourself for a few days.

Eating out

Belfast has a great range of places to eat out, to suit any budget. If you’re looking for an affordable breakfast, we recommend Conor, which is locally-sourced comfort food in a lovely environment.

You’ve also got plenty of choice for lunch. We love the West Gourmet Sandwich Bar which is accessible and great if you’re in the centre of town. It’s always busy and friendly. Find out more on Facebook here.

Getting there

One of the best things about Belfast is how straightforward it is to get to for visitors from the rest of the UK. It’s a short hop by plane, with Flybe, Aer Lingus, British Airways, KLM and Eastern Airways all servicing Belfast City Airport. You can also fly to Belfast International Airport with EasyJet, Ryanair, Jet2, Wizz and Norwegian Airlines.

An alternative is the ferry. There are a number of lines running from Liverpool, Cairnryan and the Isle of Man. And if you’re coming by car, the M1 is the main road into the city from Dublin.
