Pembrokeshire: If you’re on the hunt for a great staycation spot in the UK, you should definitely check out this charming seaside town in Wales. Recent research has named it the ‘most accessible’ place, thanks to its beautiful beaches and rich history. TGA Mobility did the homework, looking at local attractions, restaurants, and hotels to find the best spot.
Tenby, in Pembrokeshire, is leading the way in accessibility. It’s got everything from accessible beaches to a stunning castle with ramps and lifts. You can easily get around, making it a perfect getaway for everyone.
For a fun day out, head to Great Wedlock Farm and Deer Park. They offer guided safaris on a wheelchair-friendly trailer. Imagine seeing red, white, and fallow deer roaming freely across 175 acres of gorgeous countryside! Plus, kids can enjoy movies at the Cinema Barn.
Carew Castle is another must-see. With a history spanning 2000 years, it overlooks a lovely millpond. You can stroll along a circular path that’s perfect for wheelchairs and buggies, taking in the sights of the Tidal Mill and a medieval bridge.
When it comes to beaches, Tenby South Beach has beach wheelchairs and a ramp right from the car park to the sand. Castle Beach is also a great option, with accessible toilets and beach wheelchairs, all while you soak in the views of the ancient Tenby Castle.
The Tenby Museum and Art Gallery is the oldest independent museum in Wales, dating back to 1878. It features local artists and has lifts and large print texts to make it accessible for everyone.
Daniel Stone from TGA Mobility emphasizes that accessibility is all about making spaces easy to navigate. Ramps, elevators, and clear signage are key. He believes that creating barrier-free environments allows everyone to enjoy travel and new experiences.
Stone also mentioned that travel is more than just a luxury; it’s about independence and connecting with the world. If you’re looking for another accessible spot, Blackpool is a close second, with its ramps and assistance services at popular attractions.
