I always find tripadvisor to be really useful when researching places to go, I always forget they do places to visit as well as accomodation and I prefer to find out real peoples opinions rather than rely on marketing materials.

I have tended to visit places on my own first before taking family and / or friends. As when taking others on outing there is a degree of Responsibility, and I want them to be safe and enjoy their day etc.

Often I would take niece, nephews and my Mum. Now older I have health issues, as does my fiancé and my Mum. Circumstances change over time, though a priority is accessible toilets. Another is appropriate seating. Access to refreshments is another necessity. These are relevant for young and older people, respect needed for those with health issues.

You mention pathways etc. Unfortunately recently I have come across uneven streets, roads, pavements and pathways. I tripped on one. Whilst my fiancé is finding roads / streets etc which are bumpy to travel on ( uneven, potholes etc) are causing him pain. Years ago he had a hip replacement due to arthritis, he is on medication foe nerve pain. Yet the vibration of uneven roads are causing him to experience pain. Meanwhile driver feels uncomfortable yet helpless in avoiding such circumstances. So we can only plan for so much. Though I hope Authorities soon improve our streets, pathways etc.

Hoping we all get the opportunities of getting outdoors to enjoy some sunshine and fresh air this summer.

I always read reviews online before we go anywhere and make sure there is plenty of food that everyone will like

If we have a family day out we have to plan carefully as my husband is a wheelchair user. Lots of people don’t realise how hard it is, for example if you want to go to the theatre as a family you find that wheelchair spaces have only one carer seat next to them so if you go as a family you cant even all sit together. The rough guide to accessible Britain is quite a good resource

I plan a day out by looking at reviews so I can see the dos and donts and any obstacles we might come across. It most of all I plan it so we cram in as much fun as possible!
