Autumn is a great time to get outdoors and explore somewhere new.

Our website hosts Detailed Access Guides for places across the UK including parks, gardens, nature reserves and more.

Colourful woodlands, family days out in nature, and the crisp fresh air; we work with organisations including the RSPB and National Trust to help people find out more about access in these stunning places.

The Guides share practical information about paths, terrain, facilities and more, to help you plan ahead and decide if a venue works for you.

Have you ever wondered what goes into creating a Detailed Access Guide?

Take a look behind the scenes at Kerridge End Cottages, a countryside holiday cottage we surveyed to create a Guide for.

AccessAble surveyor Tara carried out an on-site assessment to capture the details that can help guests better plan their visits.

Thanks to Kerridge End Holidays for sharing what the assessment was like, how they found the process, and what having a Detailed Access Guide can mean for guests of holiday cottages like this one.

Our surveyors visit properties in person to independently measure and assess what is there, so the information in our Detailed Access Guides is based on what they see and record on site, rather than self-submitted information from businesses.

“Fully accessible” can mean very different things to different people.

For Ed (The Deaf Traveller), who has hearing loss, knowing what support is available before he visits somewhere helps him plan with confidence.

In this reel, Ed talks about why clear accessibility information matters, using Hull Truck Theatre as a great example. Their Detailed Access Guide and website sets out the support available, so Ed can find out what to expect before he visits.



Video description: The video features Ed at home talking to the camera with overlays of the Hull Truck Theatre website and their Detailed Access Guide on the AccessAble website. It also features shots of him smiling outside the front of the venue in Hull.

Our research shows that it can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour to search for accessibility information per venue.

This time can quickly add up when planning a trip with multiple locations.

Our ambition is to reduce this figure by continuing to provide a central place for detailed accessibility information.

“I trust accessibility information when I see photos of routes and parking.”

Ambassador (Kerry Thompson) recently took a trip to Great Linford Manor Park with The Parks Trust .

In this reel, she explains why detailed accessibility information is so important when it comes to planning somewhere new, and what businesses can do to support disabled visitors.

Especially for green spaces where the paths, facilities, and access routes can come with so many unknowns, having clear and transparent access information can make all the difference to a day out.



Reel description: The video features footage of AccessAble ambassador Kerry Thompson visiting Great Linford Manor Park with shots of her reading information boards, using footpaths, taking photos and looking out over the lake.

Disabled adults made 21% fewer trips than non-disabled adults in 2025.

For some disabled people, getting out and about can involve additional physical, health, transport and accessibility barriers that can often explain this difference.

Accessibility information isn't going to remove all those barriers, but it can help reduce the unknowns of some.

Knowing what to expect before you visit somewhere can be a big help. Is there accessible parking? What is the entrance like? Is there a lift? What are the toilets like? How busy or noisy is it likely to be?

These may seem like minor details, but having that information can help someone decide whether a place is right for them and plan their visit with greater confidence.

The data doesn't explain exactly why the gap exists, but it does remind us that there isn’t an even playing field when it comes to getting out and about.

And that's why clear access information matters so much.

Where will you visit next?

This World Tourism Day, we’re highlight the 1,700+ tourist attractions across the UK with a Detailed Access Guide.

Accessible tourism isn’t a niche market, with spend from disabled travellers and their families estimated at £14.6 billion a year in England alone (GB Tourism Survey).

Choosing where to go can depend on having the right information, and a lack of clear information can make it difficult for disabled people to know where is suitable for them.

In our research, 77% have reported not visiting a venue because they couldn’t find the access information they needed.

Clear accessibility information for places like zoos, museums, historic sites, and cultural attractions can make it easier for people to plan their visit and decide if an attraction is suitable for their needs.

Our Detailed Access Guides feature detailed measurements, access routes, parking, toilets, and sensory details to help provide this information in one place.

Would you visit somewhere new if you didn’t know what to expect?

The in-person retail experience can come with lots of potential barriers for disabled people. Many shops have different layouts, facilities, payment options, access routes, aisle widths, and changing facilities which can all make planning a shopping trip more challenging.

That’s where our Detailed Access Guides can hopefully help take away some of the planning time, and the stress of the unknown.

We have over 300 Guides for shopping centres across the UK, with many more covering high street stores, supermarkets and shopping outlets.

If you’re planning a shopping trip later this year, you can use our website to find out everything you need to know before you go.

From practical information such as parking, toilets and measurements to sensory and environmental details that give you a better sense of what the space will be like, including background noise, lighting, 360 degree photos and more.

Know more before you go, so you can plan with confidence.

Today is International Day of Sign Languages.

The day recognises the importance of sign languages and the role they play in enabling Deaf people to communicate, connect, and participate in everyday life.

To mark the day, we’re sharing a recent trip from Katie Anna McConnell, who headed to Birmingham for DeafEXPO as part of her Level 3 BSL studies. The day gave Katie the chance to learn more about Deaf culture, communication, and the barriers Deaf people face.

It was Katie’s first time in Birmingham and her first visit to the The Nation's Experience Capital, so she had plenty to think about when planning her day.

The NEC, and places to eat nearby all have Detailed Access Guides, giving Katie the information she needed in advance to plan her visit.

With such a huge venue to navigate, having that information beforehand helped to make Katie feel more confident about what to expect.



Reel description: The video features Katie, an AccessAble Ambassador who uses a wheelchair, navigating various parts of the NEC and exploring the exhibitions at DeafExpo 2026. The video begins on a train, arriving at the NEC, and then exploring the venue.
