A weekend in Bude: an accessible itinerary
2 days For wheelchair & limited mobility Built from visitor-rated places
Every attraction and every stay on this weekend states disabled access. You'll visit Newquay Zoo, Blue Reef Aquarium, Exmoor Zoo and Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park, and base yourself at one of three Bude stays. Stops within each day are close together: 0.5 and 0.6 miles apart on day one, and 3.4 and 2.3 miles on day two. Both lunch spots hold a 5/5 food hygiene rating, but neither states disabled access, so ring ahead.
One honest caveat: day two begins 71.6 miles from day one's last stop, so build in rest breaks. Pentire Haven Holiday Park sits 2.8 miles from Sandymouth beach, whose bathing water the Environment Agency rates Excellent. East Thorne Yurts adds a hot tub, and Headon Farm Caravan Park has a swimming pool and welcomes pets. If you're arriving by train, Okehampton is the nearest station, 14.8 miles from Headon Farm. Always check parking, toilets and lifts with each place before booking.

Day 1
Start at Newquay Zoo, then it's just 0.5 miles to Lakeside Cafe (5/5 hygiene rating) and a further 0.6 miles to Blue Reef Aquarium. The cafe doesn't state disabled access, so check parking, step-free entry and toilets with them before you go.
Day 2
This is the long one: Exmoor Zoo is 71.6 miles from Blue Reef Aquarium, so set off early and plan a rest stop. After the zoo it's only 3.4 miles to lunch at The Pyne Arms (5/5 hygiene rating, but no stated disabled access, so ring ahead) and 2.3 miles on to Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park.
