Holiday Overview

Once an exclusive seaside retreat for Victorian royalty, Bournemouth has since been embraced by the wider public to become one of the nation’s favourite holiday hotspots. While its beautiful beaches are rightly heralded as amongst the best in Europe, the town itself boasts a diverse array of museums and galleries, some of the best restaurants and cafes in the country, and a wonderful, paved promenade that benefits from an enjoyable land train and several accessible cliff lifts.

While your first full day on holiday will centre on Bournemouth seafront and town centre, the second day sees us head further west to explore the geologic grandeur of the Jurassic Coast. With its remarkable rock formations and picturesque countryside, you’ll experience this idyllic stretch of coast first-hand via an accessible cruise and a visit to Durlston Castle & Country Park.

Finally, your disabled holiday in Dorset also includes a day trip to the Isle of Wight. There, you’ll see the island’s famous, jagged rocks - known as the Needles - tour the breathtaking coastline, and have the opportunity to pick up some mementoes of your memorable holiday. Your disabled-friendly Bournemouth hotel has been hand-picked by the Limitless Team for its superb location and excellent disabled facilities. A Limitless Travel representative will accompany the tour group throughout the holiday, providing assistance whenever required and ensuring you receive the support you need.
