At the end of a long walk, nothing is more satisfying than a cold, refreshing pint of beer at a good pub. There's nothing like a few sips of an ice-cold drink to quench your thirst and recharge your energy.
Going to a pub should be an enjoyable experience for everyone. That’s why an increasing number of pubs are making sure they are accessible to people of all abilities. An accessible pub considers the needs of those with physical disabilities, mobility difficulties, and sensory impairments.
So that why we have selected our top 5 accessible pubs in the Yorkshire Dales that are worth a visit this summer.
The Lister Arms, Malham
The Lister Arms is a traditional countryside inn with a real rustic charm. Nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, it offers a plethora of character with its wooden beams, crackling open fires and delectable home cooked cuisine. There is now an all-terrain wheelchair available to borrow from The Lister Arms to allow those with mobility problems to experience the full beauty of Gordale Scar and Malham Cove.
If you are looking for an unforgettable experience, why not extend your stay in the Dales? The Lister Arms has an accessible room, located in the barn. Having stayed there, we can honestly say… it is pure luxury
