A weekend in Skegness: an accessible itinerary
2 days For wheelchair & limited mobility Built from visitor-rated places
Skegness makes an easy weekend when you plan it around short hops and places that state disabled access — and every stop here does. Day one is a single, unhurried outing to Lincoln Zoo; day two pairs Rushmoor Country Park with lunch 9.3 miles away at the Jug and Bottle, which holds a 5/5 food hygiene rating. Nothing is rushed.
For beds, The Elms caravanning site lists toilets, disabled access, pet friendly and WiFi, sits 3.8 miles from Skegness station and 1.8 miles from Ingoldmells beach, rated Excellent for bathing water by the Environment Agency. Ings Barn sleeps 10, with a swimming pool, hot tub, playground and disabled access, 0.6 miles from Thorpe Culvert station. Southview Park Hotel is 1.5 miles from Skegness station and 2 miles from Skegness beach, also rated Excellent. Arriving by train, the nearest station is Skegness. Do ring ahead about parking, accessible toilets and lifts before booking.

Day 1
Day one is deliberately light: a single morning at Lincoln Zoo, which states disabled access, so there's no second stop and no extra driving to work around. Check parking, accessible toilets and step-free routes directly with the zoo before you book.
Day 2
Start at Rushmoor Country Park, 19.4 miles from yesterday's stop and also stating disabled access, then an easy 9.3-mile run to the Jug and Bottle for lunch, where the food hygiene rating is 5/5. Confirm accessible parking, toilets and any ramps or lifts with both places in advance.
