Accessible activity ideas from National Parks

30 Nov 2010
A new accessibility guide highlights ideas for activities in Britain’s national parks open to people with limited mobility and the blind and partially sighted.

It is produced by the UK Association of National Park Authorities (ANPAs) and offers suggestions including a circular walk in the New Forest National Park, which features a collection of trees from around the world and a sensory trail.

Other suggestions include sailing on specially-adapted boats on Exmoor National Park’s Wimbleball Lake, or fishing around Snowdonia National Park’s Mawddach estuary.

‘The UK’s national parks are here to be enjoyed, irrespective of age and ability. This new guide gives some great ideas about how everyone, including people with limited mobility, those who are partially sighted, and parents with children in pushchairs, can enjoy the great outdoors in a way that is not only fun but also healthy and good for the body and mind,’ said UK ANPA’s chairman Carl Lis.

The guide can be found here and is available in English and Welsh language versions in various formats, including large print, audio and braille.
