About this book<br />
Designed to be good to read and easy to use, this<br />
updated sixth edition of The Rough Guide to <strong>Accessible</strong><br />
<strong>Britain</strong> is filled with inspirational and practical<br />
advice to help you plan your day out.<br />
The introductory highlights section – celebrating<br />
some of the finest accessible attractions in <strong>Britain</strong>, as<br />
chosen by our expert reviewers – is a good place to<br />
start. The ten colour-coded regional chapters that<br />
follow are packed with reviews of a wide range of<br />
sites, to suit all interests and abilities. Each review<br />
includes details about facilities for disabled visitors,<br />
plus ideas for places to eat on site or nearby.<br />
In each chapter, we have included a beautiful<br />
scenic drive, complete with a colour route map and<br />
suggested places to stop along the way. We’ve also<br />
written some town reviews: in each region, we’ve<br />
chosen one town or city that’s well worth a visit and<br />
looked at access both around the town and at some of<br />
its main attractions. The following symbols have been<br />
used to highlight these features:<br />

Our reviewers try to consider all the questions<br />
and concerns you may have, but it’s always a good<br />
idea to call ahead to check on current conditions at an<br />
attraction, especially if you have specific requirements.<br />
Many places can be enjoyed independently, but we<br />
have made it clear where some assistance will help<br />
you make the most of your visit.<br />
At the end of the guide, you’ll find lists of<br />
useful contacts to help you plan holidays and<br />
days out in <strong>Britain</strong>, from travel advice to finding<br />
accommodation.<br />
