Itinerary

Day 1 Travel to Blackpool

We’ll meet you at one of our designated UK pick-up points, help you board our accessible coach and ensure you’re comfortable for the journey. All our coaches benefit from hydraulic lift or ramp access, and wheelchairs can be safely secured in place, so there’s no need to transfer to a standard seat. Similarly, all our drivers have experience working with Limitless Travellers and understand and respect individual access needs.

On arrival, you’ll be served complimentary tea and coffee while the Limitless Team helps you check in. Then, you’ll have time to relax, unwind and explore your accessible room, before enjoying a delicious three-course meal in the hotel restaurant. Your Tour Manager will round out the evening with a little entertainment for those not quite ready to hit the hay.

Learn more about our accessible transport in our FAQs.

Day 2 Blackpool Tower & Ballroom

What better place to begin your accessible holiday than the iconic Blackpool Tower? Inspired by Eiffel’s efforts in Paris, it was the tallest manmade structure in the British Empire on completion in 1894. Today, it remains one of the UK’s most recognisable landmarks and forms a part of the Tower Buildings complex, which also includes the Tower Circus and the Tower Ballroom.

Your visit to the Blackpool Tower includes a fascinating 4D cinema experience explaining the history of the Tower, as well as a journey up to the glass-bottomed SkyWalk in the Tower Eye, where you’ll enjoy incredible views over the coast. After, we’ll head to the exquisitely decorated Blackpool Ballroom, where you’ll enjoy a cream tea. Then it’s traditional fish and chips out on the town for dinner!

Day 3 Visit Lakeland Farm

Today, we board the accessible coach and head north into the spectacular landscapes of the Lake District. One of the UK’s most beloved National Parks, the Lake District boasts a unique topography and history. As a result, it developed a style of fell farming based on common land rights and hefted grazing that is so distinct, it was the principal reason the region was afforded the UNESCO World Heritage designation.

To learn more about this history, we’re heading to Lakeland Farm - a fantastic working farm nestled between Windermere and Staveley. There, we’ll meet the animals, catch an arena show and chat to the farmers about farming in the area. We’ll also enjoy a bite to eat in the on-site Farm Café, where you can sample some of the local produce.

Day 4 Windermere & Illuminations

On Day Four of your accessible Blackpool holiday, we’ll venture back out to the idyllic Lake District to visit England’s largest natural lake - Windermere. The lakeside cafe is a great spot to grab a coffee, snack or light lunch while soaking up the awe-inspiring mountain backdrop, then we’ll board our accessible vessel for a gentle cruise across Windermere’s calm waters.

In the afternoon, we’ll head back to Blackpool and make our way to the Golden Mile, where Blackpool’s sensational Illuminations light up the night and create a truly unforgettable atmosphere. Lighting up the streets and seafront for more than a century, the town’s phenomenal illuminations have a genuine claim to being the world’s most historic light show. And now you’re a part of that history, too!

Day 5 Breakfast & Travel Home

Today, your Blackpool Illuminations Tour comes to an end. After breakfast at the hotel, we’ll board the accessible coach and depart for our various UK drop-off locations. Relax, reminisce with your fellow Limitless Travellers and take in the views. We’ll ensure you’re comfortable for the return journey and look forward to seeing you on your next Limitless holiday!
