Attractions and Sightseeing
Ventnor Botanical Gardens, Isle of Wight
Those of you who follow my blogposts as they are published will notice that there has been a small break between this post and the one preceding. I can only apologise for this and I hope to keep you all updated on a more frequent basis. I had to undergo a serious spinal cord operation …
Bolsover Castle – The Greatest Show
You would have to have been living under a rock to have not heard about the hit film – The Greatest Showman. The music has been playing on the radio and almost everyone I know (including my Gran) has seen the film. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a musical film that shows the …
Going to the shops as a wheelchair user
Despite my spinal cord injury, I am in many ways a normal 25 year old who loves doing things that people my age (and any age) would enjoy. These activities are often made more challenging through my access requirements but I am not deterred by this. Usually, many of these barriers can be overcome with …
Revolucion de Cuba, Sheffield
Richard and I were thrilled to find Revolucion de Cuba in the centre of Sheffield. It’s a vibrant bar and restaurant that serves tasty Latin-inspired dishes and beautiful, intricate cocktails whilst also running a wide variety of events and live music nights. If you’re looking for a unique venue for that office party, first date …
Beach Access North East, Beach Wheelchairs
I had the pleasure of visiting Newcastle and the surrounding areas on holiday this year with my partner, Richard, and my dog, Milo. We had beautiful sunshine throughout our time which really made our time wonderful when we visited all the beautiful places in the North East! Tynemouth was no exception with the ruins of …
Viva Blackpool, The Jersey Beats
Richard and I spent a weekend in Blackpool celebrating our anniversary (6 years!) and decided to go and see a show at the Viva Blackpool theatre (https://www.vivablackpool.com). Viva present lots of different celebrity or visiting acts but also run their own Vegas-style cabaret shows which include dancers in costumes, singers and a comedic host. There …
JORVIK Viking Centre, York
I was really excited to visit JORVIK Viking Centre in York with my family on Mum’s birthday surprise day out since it had recently been renovated (April 2017) which made the animatronic Vikings in the historical ride feel so much more real! If you haven’t visited JORVIK before then there are separate sections of the …
Messina cruise port
Wheelchair access in Messina is generally good since the main attractions of the square and cathedral are both wheelchair friendly. If you are on a cruise to Messina then your walk to the central square should only take you around ten to fifteen minutes but be aware that there are some rough areas of the …
Things to do in Fuengirola
There’s plenty to do in Fuengirola but it depends on your interests. Disabled Fuengirola and Fuengirola in a wheelchair is very doable if you plan your activities carefully. When we visited Fuengirola we had an all-inclusive package with our hotel so didn’t eat or drink out a great deal. However, The London Pub in the …
Palma de Majorca with a wheelchair
I have been asked is Palma wheelchair accessible and how I found it when we visited. When cruising into Palma de Majorca you usually dock at the Poniente or Paraires quays at the Estacion Maritima. This is about a mile and a half away from the centre of Palma. There are buses that run from …
