It was a transport hub for the wool, coal and grain trade that grew up in this area and lasted well into the 20th century. The legacy of impressive red-brick warehouses remains, some of which have been converted into pubs and restaurants.<\/p>\n
During the spring and summer months, the Edwardian river cruiser M.V. Sonning<\/a> offers trips along the River Trent. Although built in 1902 as a River Thames Passenger Steamer, the Sonning\u2019s upper deck area is wheelchair accessible. There is also a superb stile-free river walk, suitable for all the family, that begins in the grounds of Newark Castle.\u00a0Starting point: Newark Castle.<\/p>\n

It all adds to the magic of the descent into the cosy, cocooning north-east-facing cove of Cwm-yr-Eglwys (Valley of the Church). A flat, wheelchair and pushchair-friendly path links\u00a0Cwm-yr-Eglwys with the next cove over,\u00a0Pwllgwaelod. Starting point: Cwm-yr-Eglwys.<\/p>\n

This mixed habitat of bog, swamp, scrub and wet woodland is famous for its April-arriving ospreys, but look a little closer and you will notice a host of other wildlife wonders throughout spring and summer.<\/p>\n
A wheelchair-friendly boardwalk weaves across the boggy habitat, from its new visitor centre towards the osprey-viewing 360 Observatory. Amble slowly for your best chance of sightings.\u00a0Starting point: Dyfi Visitor Centre.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve reached the first monument built to commemorate war dead rather than celebrate victory and, coupled with a bracing northerly wind or a mist hanging over the Vale of Aylesbury below, it can\u2019t fail to bring out goosebumps.<\/p>\n
A wheelchair-friendly path leads north from the gate on the western side of the National Trust car park (picnic area and information panels, including a map, but no toilets) as far as the monument. As well as distant views, the Prime Minister\u2019s country home, Chequers, is spotted in the valley below. Starting point: Chilterns Countryside National Trust<\/a> car park.<\/p>\n

The path is easy access, but there are some slopes. Stop off at the summit for a picnic, before completing the 2.3-mile route back to the car park.\u00a0At the start of the walk there is a fairly steep climb (1.7 gradient), which could be heavy going for a manual wheelchair.<\/p>\n

It is a remarkable feat of engineering, though these days is perhaps better known for its supporting role in the Harry Potter films. Either way, there is something magical about the early-20th-century rail bridge.<\/p>\n
The five-mile route from Glenfinnan Visitor Centre (shop, toilets, caf\u00e9 and accessible parking) as far as Corryhully Bothy is suitable for people with limit mobility. Initially the track is a bit rough and may require a strong pusher for manual wheelchair users. Beyond the viaduct the route is sealed and car-free.<\/p>\n
