A weekend in Bournemouth: an accessible itinerary

This two-day plan links four attractions that all state disabled access. Day 1 pairs Amazon World with the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, just 3.4 miles apart. Day 2 brings you back for The New Forest Wildlife Park and Eling Tide Mill Experience Visitor Centre, only 1.9 miles from each other. The short hops within each day keep things manageable. The longest leg is the 17.7 miles between the two days, and Day 1 means getting to and from the Isle of Wight, so allow for the crossing.

For a base, Hampton by Hilton Bournemouth is the stay on our list that states disabled access. It sits 1 mile from Bournemouth station, the nearest station if you're arriving by train, and 0.4 miles from Bournemouth Pier beach, where the Environment Agency rates the bathing water Excellent. Before you book anything, check the access details that matter to you, such as parking, accessible toilets and lifts, directly with each place.
