The first even rough guide to accessible Britain has been published
The first ever Rough Guide to Accessible Britain has been published and is now available to purchase, bringing the company’s energetic and informed approach to great days out for disabled visitors. Packed with ideas that are fun, manageable and simple to plan, the new guidebook has been developed by Rough Guides in association with Motability Operations, the company that manages the Motability car scheme for disabled people in the UK.
The guide features lively accounts of over 100 inspirational and accessible places to visit and things to do from exploring Sherwood Forest to soaking up the atmosphere at Wembley. The Rough Guide to Accessible Britain is a one-stop collection of ideas for making the most of leisure time, with the bonus that each location has been thoroughly checked out for disabled visitors, supplying all the information needed to plan a trip.
The concept of a Guide which combines inspiration and information emerged from discussions with members of several disability organisations such as Mobilise and the Disabled Ramblers, hence their advice has helped shape the book. In addition, Motability Operations surveyed customers to establish important factors when planning a day out. Disabled visitors said that information on facilities such as accessible toilets was more useful than admission prices and this guided the facility listings provided for each entry.
Covering city centres, special interest categories such as parks and gardens, and even extreme challenges, The Rough Guide to Accessible Britain includes regional maps and details of useful organisations that offer more assistance.
Motability Operations the company that manages the car scheme for disabled people, has supported the publication of the Rough Guide to Accessible Britain. See below for purchasing details and discounts.
