Disabled Countryside Holidays in Newquay with Grab Rails and Ground Floor Facilities
Newquay has long been Cornwall’s most popular holiday destination, and with good reason. Its main draw is its impressive array of sandy beaches – twelve in the local area – which collectively span seven miles of Cornwall’s Atlantic coastline. The sheer number of beaches means there’s something for everyone, from family favourites bustling with activity, to more relaxed, tranquil retreats with hardly anyone else around.
Several beaches also provide purpose-built beach wheelchairs to facilitate access for people with mobility issues. Fitted with large inflatable wheels, these wheelchairs make it easy to traverse sandy and pebbled surfaces in safety and comfort. Depending on the location, the chairs can be hired for free or for a small charge.
In addition to its golden sands, Newquay also boasts an impressive number of attractions for a small town. It’s home to the award-winning Newquay Zoo, which is set among 13 acres of sub-tropical gardens and houses over 130 species from around the world, including red pandas, meerkats and sloths. On the nearby Towan Beach, you’ll also find Cornwall’s largest aquarium, Blue Reef, where you can view 40 naturally created habitats, featuring sea life from the Cornish coast to far-flung corners of the globe.
Outside of town is the National Trust property Trerice Manor, an intimate Elizabethan house with attractive gardens and a cosy tea room; while farther afield there are two theme parks – Flambards and Camel Creek. If you want a more laidback experience, try the charming Japanese Garden, or sit back and enjoy the ride on the Lappa Valley Steam Railway.
