Type of Walk: Accessible Walking Group

The Category Accessible Walking Groups is a subset of Walking Groups in the UK.

'The Calvert Trust enables people with disabilities, together with their families and friends, to achieve their potential through the challenge of outdoor adventure in the countryside.'

'The Disabled Ramblers exists to help mobility-challenged people get back out into the countryside. Able-bodied helpers are welcome to support members and to help with loading scooters ... About 30 rambles are run each year across England and Wales – mostly from March to October ... When time permits, our routes are being added to ViewRanger. This enables you to see the route on your computer and then download it to your Smartphone. You can then follow the route on your phone as you go along.'

Helping People with Disabilities to Access the Countryside

'Open Country is a Harrogate-based organisation that seeks to enable anyone with any disability to access the countryside. We achieve this through a variety of countryside activities and the provision of information, training and advice. Fully accessible transport is provided and teams of trained volunteers are on hand to offer assistance as necessary.'

'Improve your fitness, get some fresh air, enjoy some beautiful scenery and make new friends! Our walking group are aged between 20 and 90 years old and you don’t need to have lots of experience with walking. The walks are a full day with a  break for lunch so you do need to be able to walk approximately 6-7 miles.'

Henshaws Society for Blind People

'We believe the countryside is for everyone and that includes those with a disability. West Lothian disAbled Ramblers was created to add the countryside to the list of disabled activities in West Lothian but our trips aren't limited to the county or even the central belt.'
