Outdoor Mobility and English Heritage partner up to enhance access to Scarborough Castle
Mobility charity Outdoor Mobility has worked with English Heritage to make a new Tramper Mobility Scooter available for people with limited mobility and disabilities to the grounds of Scarborough Castle.
Outdoor Mobility’s ‘Outdoor Mobility Tramper Network’ aims to break down the barriers that prevent people with limited mobility enjoying the great outdoors either independently or with their friends and family.
The charity helps to make outdoor areas accessible with the support of communities, charities and businesses, working with partners such as Forestry England, Langdale Estate and North York Moors National Park.
Aiming to enhance the offer available at outdoor attractions to be accessible to an even wider and more diverse audience, Outdoor Mobility seeks new partners to work with to grow the Tramper scheme.
Outdoor Mobility encourages organisations to book a talk for the charity or group, and provides an accessibility assessment of a potential Tramper route and the facilities at the site.
The Tramper is available when the castle is open. From mid-February, will be two slots available each day, one at 10:30am and one at 1:30pm, each for 2.5hrs. A valid English Heritage Membership or Scarborough Castle Ticket is required to access the Tramper, which can be purchased on site.
Disabled visitors and members can bring an accompanying companion free of charge to the castle.
