A weekend in the Isle of Wight: an accessible itinerary

This is a weekend built around short hops and stated access. Every attraction and every stay listed here states disabled access, so you're not guessing from photographs. Day one keeps you close: just 3.4 miles between Amazon World and the Isle of Wight Steam Railway. Day two stretches a little further, with 17.7 miles to The New Forest Wildlife Park and then only 1.9 miles on to the Eling Tide Mill Experience Visitor Centre.

For beds, Daish's Hotel in Shanklin states disabled access and sits 0.5 miles from Shanklin station — the nearest station to the Isle of Wight — with Shanklin beach 0.3 miles away and bathing water rated Excellent by the Environment Agency. Heathfield Farm Camp Site also states disabled access, 0.4 miles from Colwell Bay, likewise rated Excellent. Whichever you choose, ring ahead and confirm the details that matter to you: parking bays, accessible toilets, lifts, step-free routes.
