3 days in Bournemouth: an accessible itinerary

This three-day Bournemouth itinerary is planned for wheelchair users and anyone with limited mobility. Every attraction on it states disabled access: Liberty's Owl, Raptor and Reptile Centre, Splashdown Water Park, Scaplens Court Museum, Sturminster Museum and the Gartell Light Railway. Both lunch stops, Love All Food and The Pilot, hold 5/5 food hygiene ratings. Neither lists access details, though, so ring ahead.

Most hops are short, such as 0.7 miles from Splashdown to The Pilot and 2.3 miles on to Scaplens Court. Day 3 does involve a 20.2-mile drive to Sturminster Museum, so plan rest stops. For a base, Hampton by Hilton Bournemouth is the stay here that states disabled access. It is 1 mile from Bournemouth station and 0.4 miles from Bournemouth Pier beach, rated Excellent for bathing water by the Environment Agency. Wherever you go, check parking, accessible toilets and lifts directly with each place before booking.
