Living in East Yorkshire and North East Lincolnshire means you’re never far from a great day out. Whether you’re planning a family trip, a cultural experience, or a relaxing stroll, accessibility is key. At Independent Mobility, we know how important it is to find places that are welcoming and easy to explore with a scooter, powerchair, or wheelchair.
Here are our Top 5 accessibility-friendly days out in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
1. The Deep, Hull
One of the UK’s most spectacular aquariums, The Deep is designed with accessibility in mind. Wide pathways, lifts to every floor, and designated viewing areas ensure everyone gets the full experience. Carers go free, and mobility scooters are welcome throughout.
Why it’s great: Accessible lifts, disabled parking, and discounted tickets.
2. Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Doncaster
If you love animals, this award-winning wildlife park is a must. The flat, well-maintained paths make it easy for scooters and wheelchairs to navigate, and accessible toilets are located across the site. Mobility aids can also be hired on request.
Why it’s great: Level access routes and plenty of resting areas along the way.
3. Lincoln Cathedral
An iconic landmark in Lincolnshire, the cathedral offers a beautiful mix of history and architecture.

Visitors with mobility challenges can still enjoy much of the cathedral and its stunning views.
Why it’s great: Accessibility-friendly entrances and guided tours designed for wheelchair and scooter users.
4. Sewerby Hall and Gardens, Bridlington

5. Cleethorpes Promenade and Beach
