Hello
I have always liked the British countryside. There are many places that are with going and some are unbelievable. A lot of them have car parks near by so are accessible. Whilst others are so easy. Whilst I accept that it is not always possible to.make them accessible there must be places out there than we can get to. Even if it takes a little work. I especially like the West Country and the Lake District. I have been fortunate in the past (before my mobility became more problematical) to visit Watersmeet (Lynton/Lynmouth, Devon) which is one of my most favourite places in the world. But
what else us out there??? Some of the lesser known places? I don't mean by the side of lake Conniston or similar because I we are all aware of them. What about somewhere else? Places that are worth the effort and worth a photograph....

Hello @AndyGT,
I haven't been able to come up with any personal suggestions, but I have found a website that has photos and accessibility ratings for different countryside destinations around Britain and other countries. Some of the views look lovely!

Hopefully this could could help you find a new place to go that looks great, and suits your needs. Let me know what you think! -
Hi @AndyGt
Accessible Countryside for Everyone is a website that highlights accessibility to the countryside and green spaces, for leisure, recreation and sport. It lists wheelchair walks, buggy walks, easy walks, support organisations, disability sport information, campsites with disabled facilities.

Thanks for these they both seem great sites. It does anyone have any personal recommendations? Somewhere I would highly recommend is the view at County Gate between Devon and Somerset. It looks across Exmoor (Doon Valley) I think. Any ideas? Especially if they are maybe the less well known places?

I have been to Northerumberland before and I know what you mean about the coast. It is awesome. I liked Banburgh and Alnwick castles. Also liked Holy Island. All are weĺl worth a visit.
