When you have disabilities or long-term health conditions it can be difficult to know where to go on holiday. Finding a destination that is both accessible and has the right weather, activities and accommodation to match your criteria can be a challenge.
Motability has done some of the work for us — teaming up with Rough Guides to find the best UK resorts from relaxing beaches to adventure holidays there’s a real mix of opportunities and ideas. They include:
Beach huts in Clacton-on-Sea
Walks on Wheels in the beautiful Cotswolds
Road trips through the Lake District
Boats and blooms in Falmouth
A dose of history in Chester and
A family adventure on the Isle of Wight
Financing your trip
Disability Horizons have taken an interesting approach in their blog which looks into the combination of great locations in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland — with financing your trip with support from Starling Bank.
