5 Accessible Tourist Attractions in the UK

By Emily Wyatt – Tue, 27 September 2022

Today is World Tourism Day and the theme is 'rethinking tourism'. Accessibility for all to tourism facilities, products, and services should be a central part of any responsible and sustainable tourism policy. Whilst we don't say whether a venue is accessible or not, we give you the detailed accessibility information you need to work out if a place is going to be accessible for you.

We've compiled 5 tourist attractions in the UK that we have Detailed Access Guides for. Check out these 5 accessible tourist attractions.

Located beside the Titanic Slipways, the Harland and Wolff Drawing Offices, and Hamilton Graving Dock – the very place where Titanic was designed, built, and launched, Titanic Belfast tells the story of Titanic from her conception, through her construction and launch, to her maiden voyage and subsequent place in history.
