Cornwall promotes access for all
Cornwall is a fantastic place to live or visit but the very nature of its appeal – rural isolation, beautiful beaches and towering cliffs – often make it one of the most difficult places in the country for disabled people to live or to spend their precious holiday.
Often Cornish towns are hilly, attractions are inaccessible, and the coastline is far from easy to negotiate.
However, do not be put off, as the county’s accessibility is improving
with a number of organisations and attractions’ making commendable improvements to ensure their service is accessible to all.
The ‘Visit Cornwall’ website is a good place to start as it contains lots of interesting information and brochures for accessible accommodation and places to visit.
There are easy routes to follow in many gardens and attractions, such as The Lost Gardens of Heligan near Mevagissey, and the South West
Sarah Lawrence & David Carbis Welcome you to
Coast Path have highlighted sections of Cornwall’s stunning coastline that are accessible to wheelchair users.
Flambards theme park is not just good for the children; check out the Victorian village and Britain in the Blitz exhibitions.
The famous Eden Project has made an excellent attempt in turning an inaccessible topography into a venue welcoming to everybody.
Shopmobility is available in Falmouth and Penzance with more towns lining up to join the scheme.
On a nice sunny day there is nothing better than getting a pasty from the famous Philps pasty shop in Hayle and taking your time to wander up King George V Memorial Walk.
Perhaps the only thing better would be to sun yourself on one of Cornwall’s fantastic beaches, and

HIRE A MORGAN Go Topless in Cornwall
Gift Vouchers Available
If there’s an opportunity to enjoy a memorable experience of exploring Cornwall, its hard to look past hiring a true British classic sports car to do so.
Truro’s Perranwell Garage is a long-established dealer of the iconic, elegant and the beautiful Morgan.
The garage offers a thrilling opportunity to rent out one of the soft-top sports cars per day, subject to availability and conditions.
So why not see the famous Minack Theatre near Penzance, or witness the rustic North Cornwall coastline?
Perhaps you’d prefer to cruise down to the picturesque towns of Looe, Fowey or St Ives, or the cobbled streets of Truro – and gain plenty of admiring glances along the way!
Whatever the weather, roof up or down, the images of a Morgan experience will last a lifetime. Gift vouchers are available – call for details.
