3 days in Skegness: an accessible itinerary

Three unhurried days in Skegness, built around places that state disabled access — no guessing, no hopeful phone calls from the car park. Day one and day two are single mornings out, at ARK Wildlife & Dinosaur Park and then Wolds Wildlife Park, just 9.5 miles apart. Day three stretches a little further to Rainbow Park, with lunch 1.5 miles on at The Ancient Mariner Inn, which holds a 5/5 food hygiene rating.

For beds, Ings Barn sleeps 10 and sits 0.6 miles from Thorpe Culvert station, with a swimming pool, hot tub and disabled access; Southview Park Hotel is 1.5 miles from Skegness station and 2 miles from Skegness beach, rated Excellent for bathing water by the Environment Agency. The Elms is pet friendly, 1.8 miles from Ingoldmells beach. Access varies in the detail, so ring ahead about parking, accessible toilets and lifts before you book.
