UK Disabled Holidays

Travelling abroad when you have restricted mobility and live with medical conditions presents enough challenges without the added worry of airline strikes and volcanic eruptions. And with the plunge in the Pound against Euro, is it any wonder disabled Brits are opting for a �staycation� this year? Are you thinking of doing the same?

Ok, so the weather can be a little unpredictable but here in the UK, not only are we steeped in history, we have some of the best scenery in the world. Stunning countryside, amazing coastlines and vibrant cities. UK disabled holidays offer more choices than ever before, from accessible city breaks to disabled holiday cottages in the Lake District. The good thing about the UK is that you don�t have to go far to experience something new.

When searching for UK accessible hotels and disabled accommodation you can be guided by the symbols of The National Accessible Scheme (NAS), run by Visit Britain, the tourism authority. This is a nationally recognized rating system to ensure accommodation meets the needs of people with varying disabilities.

If you�re not keen on the idea of independent travel, the alternative is to book UK disabled holidays through a specialist travel agent. These tend to be escorted group holidays, so not only can you meet new people but, the practical concerns of arranging accessible accommodation and activities are all taken care of by the agent. The staff that accompany these trips have prior knowledge about the area, so all you need to do is sit back and make the most of your UK break.

Ever considered a cruise? It can be such a convenient way for the elderly and disabled people to travel and a British Isle cruise could be the answer. You don�t have to spend thousands or travel a million miles away. It�s a great way to see the UK!

Or perhaps traditional self-catering UK disabled holidays appeal to you more? There are hundreds of caravan and holiday parks up and down the UK to choose from, many of which are wheelchair accessible and can make for an inexpensive UK holiday. Because many of these resorts are located near the coast, it's worthwhile knowing that many of the local Tourist Information centers have beach wheelchairs for hire, so you too can get little closer to the sea!
