If you are planning a break the following information may help.

Day Trips and Short Breaks

Salisbury Tourist Information (tel 01722 342860) runs two day trips which they have told us are disability-friendly.

  • A coach trip goes from Salisbury to Stonehenge and drivers will help passengers load and unload wheelchairs, which would need to work on a grassy plain.  There are disabled toilets.
  • Salisbury Cathedral has disabled access to most areas.

A good online guide to other day trips is available at Accessible Guide.  It is particularly interesting for country house visits and has reviews from other users.

A good general site is Accessible Countryside.

Riverboat holidays can be arranged on the Kennet & Avon Canal organised by:

Longer Breaks

There are a number of companies serving national and international locations.  It is useful to take a look at their FAQ page first to see the concerns other people have and also to check they are ATOL/ABTA registered.

Stroke News Magazine   Provides guidance for preparing for your holiday holidays.

Do let us know how you get on so that we can amend this webpage as necessary.  Have fun!
