Disabled Go
You can check out if the place you are visiting is accessible on DisabledGo. You can see access guides for a wide variety of places including restaurants, hotels, pubs and bars, parks and gardens, cafes, museums and universities.
Euan's guide
Euan's guide is a disabled access review website that aims to inspire people to try new places. You can search by postcode, venue or category to find places that have been reviewed and rated by visitors for their accessibility for disabled people. Venues can also add listings themselves.
