Accessibility Statement And General Information

Yorkshire Coast Nature - Accessibility Statement

At Yorkshire Coast Nature, we are committed to providing inclusive experiences for all our clients and firmly believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the amazing wildlife and stunning landscapes of Yorkshire and beyond.

Some of our staff have completed Access for All UK Accessibility Champions training to ensure you have the best possible experience. Please let us know of any specific requirements you have so we can assist you with tour choices and further on-site support.

You are welcome to look at our scheduled public events, or ‘Design Your Own’. We run bespoke Birding and Wildlife Safari Days, which in the past have included a Birdsong Day for visually impaired clients and experiences using all-terrain trampers for people with mobility issues. Feel free to also choose one of our bespoke day-packages based at various sites across Yorkshire. You’ll find more details here: CLICK HERE

Accessibility Information – scheduled, group tours

Our scheduled, group tours take place over a wide variety of habitats and terrains, with varying levels of accessibility. For your information, some may include steep gradients, steps, uneven, muddy or slippery surfaces.  Others involve walking over rough ground for several hours and standing in one place for half an hour or so. Boat-based experiences include climbing up and down a ladder to get on to the boat.

If you have any questions about accessibility of specific events, please feel free to contact us.

Assistance Dogs

We operate in sensitive environments and wildlife reserves predominantly so in we cannot accommodate assistance dogs on our scheduled, larger-group, public events. You can bring them on smaller group, tailor-made tours, however.

Toilet Facilities

Our experiences run from a variety of outdoor places not one central point, so we don’t have access to permanent toilets. We attempt to design tours that pass by public conveniences where possible and our guides will always try to direct visitors towards open facilities if needed.

Essential Companion Tickets

Complimentary Essential Companion tickets may be available on some group events, and all tailor-made tours.  Please contact Richard Baines with any enquiries.

Accessibility Site Guides

On this page you will find four site guides: Dalby Forest, Sutton Bank, Top Hill Low and Bempton. These areas are great places for wildlife and are more accessible. These downloadable guides provide you with lots of information, including what you will find there and available facilities.

We hope they are useful and that we will see you on a tour soon!
