Disabled caravan enthusiasts may be interested to hear that Stratford-upon-Avon has been tipped as a good choice of destination for them.
According to Tourism For All, the level land around the town makes it easily accessible, meaning those with disabilities will find it possible to visit the birthplace of William Shakespeare without too much difficulty.
Shakespeare Houses & Gardens won the Heart of England Tourism Excellence Awards 2009 title of Best Tourism Experience.
Tourism For All head of consultancy Brian Seaman explained that other towns, such as Birmingham, Brighton and Hove have been tailoring their activities to less-able guests.
"Some destinations have been making a real effort to encourage disabled and older people to stay, by assessing what they have, how it could be improved and [they have] developed into an inclusive and welcoming environment for all," he said.
A new OpenBritain guide from Tourism For All and RADAR includes a range of easily-accessible accommodation, attractions and services.
