A NUMBER of Yorkshire tourist attractions have been praised for being accessible to older travellers.

The National Railway Museum, in York, RHS Garden Harlow Carr, near Harrogate, Fountains Abbey, near Ripon, Ampleforth Abbey, near Helmsley and Malton’s Eden Camp Museum, all received plaudits from Silver Travel Advisor which describes itself as a review and advice website for mature travellers.

Silver Travel Advisor managing director Debbie Marshall said: “We are incredibly impressed with the level of consideration and detail that Yorkshire’s tourist attractions have gone to in order to accommodate older or less able guests.

“Many of them offer mobility scooters, lifts and ramps, and all the sites visited have gone to great lengths to ensure the comfort and welcome of the UK’s aging population.”
