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. While parts of the medieval building are naturally uneven, the staff have worked hard to ensure ramps, lifts, and accessible tours are available. 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

Nestled on the cliffs overlooking Bridlington, Sewerby Hall combines heritage, gardens, and even a small zoo. Most of the grounds and gardens are fully accessible, with level pathways and accessible facilities. The hall itself has adapted access points so everyone can enjoy its history.

Why it’s great: Beautiful, accessible gardens with plenty of seating and clear, flat routes.

5. Cleethorpes Promenade and Beach

For a traditional seaside trip, Cleethorpes Promenade is perfect. The wide, level paths make it ideal for scooters and wheelchairs, and there are plenty of accessible cafes, arcades, and attractions along the way. Beach wheelchairs are also available during peak season.

Why it’s great: Step-free access to the promenade and accessible beach equipment for all.
