Remember to check which buses will be running if you want to travel at the weekend or on a bank holiday.
Travel by train
If you want to travel further afield and prefer to travel by train, it may be worth buying a railcard which will save you money on any rail journeys you make over the next year. There is information here on the different types of railcards available, including the Disabled Person’s railcard and the Family and Friends’ railcard.
Enjoying the outdoors
We are so lucky in Stoke-on-Trent to have so much lovely countryside around us. If you want to get some fresh air, there is a range of accessible walks within Staffordshire here. Don’t forget Park Hall Country Park and Westport Lake, even closer to home.
Daytrips
For other daytrips, the Rough Guide to Accessible Britain is worth a look. Everywhere listed has been visited by reviewers with personal experience of physical or cognitive conditions. You can read it for free here. The attractions in the West Midlands start on page 119.
