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:
