3 days in Bude: an accessible itinerary
3 days For wheelchair & limited mobility Built from visitor-rated places
This three-day plan is built for wheelchair users and anyone with limited mobility. Every attraction and every place to stay on it states disabled access. Day 1 keeps things compact: Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park, then lunch at Pack O'Cards 1.4 miles away and Combe Martin Museum just 0.5 miles further on. Day 2 pairs The BIG Sheep with Burton at Bideford. Day 3 has the longest drive, 36.7 miles to Cotehele Quay Discovery Centre, before a short hop to Tavistock Museum.
Both lunch stops, Pack O'Cards and Quay Cafe, hold 5/5 food hygiene ratings. Neither lists disabled access in our data, so do ring ahead. For a base, Pentire Haven Holiday Park sits 2.8 miles from Sandymouth beach, whose bathing water is rated Excellent by the Environment Agency. If you're coming by train, the nearest station to Bude is Okehampton. Please check parking, accessible toilets and lifts with each place before booking.

Day 1
A gentle, compact day: Pack O'Cards is 1.4 miles from Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park, and Combe Martin Museum is only 0.5 miles beyond, so there's little time in the car between stops. Check the drive from your Bude base before setting off. Pack O'Cards doesn't state disabled access, so ring ahead about step-free entry and accessible toilets.
Day 2
The BIG Sheep is 15.9 miles from yesterday's final stop. Quay Cafe (5/5 food hygiene) is then 6.9 miles on, and Burton at Bideford a further 5.8 miles. Quay Cafe doesn't state disabled access, so confirm the entrance, seating and toilets in advance, and check parking at both attractions.
Day 3
This is the trip's longest leg: Cotehele Quay Discovery Centre is 36.7 miles from Burton at Bideford, so build in rest breaks. Tavistock Museum is then just 5.4 miles further. There's no lunch stop in this plan, so sort food before you set off, and confirm parking and lift access at both museums.
