After reviewing the first edition of the 'Rough Guide to Accessible Britain' for OUCH last year, see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ouch/features/the_rough_guide_toaccessible_britain_review.shtml I was asked to write a couple of reviews for the second edition.
So 'en famille' we checked out the Abbotsbury Swannery and Sherborne Castles, both in Dorset. The Castles are more of a 'grown up attraction' but the boys thoroughly enjoyed the very accessible swannery - seeing the multitude of birds at close range, wandering along very flat paths and swinging on the rope by the 'bouncing bomb'...
The guide is even bigger and better than last year and is available from http://www.accessibleguide.co.uk/ - it's free to blue badge holders. If you do get a copy check out the rather dinky photo of Archie and me on page 97!

I seem to remember there being a very similar venture to this based in Bristol, must be well over 20 years ago now called Community Access Project; which was led by a brilliant, charismatic and handsome young man called Mike Hayes. I wonder what happened to them ?
