See our Good to Go Directory for new measures and processes in place at your favourite hotel, restaurant, attraction and more across the Island.
Welcome back! The Isle of Wight is Good to Go.
For most of us, going on holiday is relatively easy but if you are a wheelchair user, find it difficult to get about or have additional needs, then it can be hard to find travel options, accommodation and activities to suit you. With this in mind, we have put together some information and ideas to get you to the Island and to make sure that you have a great time once you’re here.
Whether you choose to come by ferry or hovercraft, both these options have passenger assistance available, accessible toilets on board car ferries and lifts which can accommodate wheelchairs. Red Funnel, Wightlink and Hovertravel all request that you book 48 hours before travelling if you are disabled and will need assistance or hold a blue badge (this is required by marine law). If you are travelling on the Red Jet you should bear in mind that due to tide difference throughout the day, the passenger gangways can be steep for those who have mobility issues.
Once you are on the Isle of Wight you’ll find that, if you’re a driver, there are plenty of disabled spaces to park in at all the main Island attractions, car parks, supermarkets and most pubs. If you’re travelling on public transport, the Island bus company Southern Vectis can accommodate wheelchairs and approved mobility scooters, although it is at the discretion of the driver as to whether there is the necessary space on board for mobility scooters. If you want to travel by train, then Island Line runs from Ryde to Shanklin. There is a downloadable leaflet about Assisted Travel, accessible station and train facilities and everything about wheelchairs, scooters and ramps.
The Isle of Wight has a huge range of holiday accommodation with everything from chalets and cottages to country parks and caravans many of which have accessible friendly features but you should enquire at the time of booking to see if the facilities will be suitable for you. Much of the accommodation on the Island has accessible bedrooms, disabled parking, a disabled persons toilet, ramp and access level and are wheelchair friendly and camping and country parks not only have fabulous views but also family and child friendly play areas.
You can find more details information about accessible accommodation and venues by visiting Euan's Guide, a disabled access reviews website; Isle Access, a directory of accessibility information on the Island; and Tourism for All, helping make travel accessible to all. We've also put together a selection of accessible friendly accommodation in the list below.
Euan’s Guide is used by disabled people to discover and recommend accessible places to visit. The website has thousands of access reviews of everywhere from cafes and hotels to boats, beaches and museums! Add your reviews to help others find great places to go on the Isle of Wight and beyond.
Isle Access is a user led charity committed to encourage and promote greater accessibility and inclusion for people on the Isle of Wight. We work with the tourist industry and local government, and our website is a useful resource for information about Island accessibility.
We realise that not all accessibility issues are visible and that different people have different needs so if you have additional needs or require assistance, you should check with the attraction, pub or restaurant to make sure that you can be comfortably looked after. The Isle of Wight’s greatest business is tourism and you will find a friendly welcome across the Island.
For some splendid days out and family fun there are lots of places on the Island that are accessible friendly. Osborne House, Carisbrooke Castle, The Isle of Wight Steam Railway, Blackgang Chine and Robin Hill are brilliant for a visit for all the family and there’s also the Isle of Wight Zoo, Amazon World and Monkey Haven for furry friend fans. Both of the Island theatres at Shanklin and Medina have wheelchair spaces and hearing assistance and the Island Riding Centre and Superbowl at Ryde also have facilities for those with additional needs.
There are, of course, beaches which, whilst the sand may not be accessible for mobility scooters and wheelchairs, have flat paths which run alongside. Appley beach in Ryde is ideal as is the path between Sandown and Shanklin beaches and Cowes Esplanade.
So plenty to do and see whatever your ability. Come and visit our beautiful Island and see for yourself!
