1) Castle Ward
Castle Ward is a great place located in a beautiful setting, offering some great views of Strangford Loch and surrounding walks too. There is also a unique house there as well as tours which are included in your ticket price.
2) The Walled City of Derry
Derry's historic city walls are wheelchair-friendly, allowing visitors to enjoy a leisurely stroll while taking in the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
Right behind the old walls you can see the new buildings that quire disrupt the old nostalgic feeling, so we recommend to focus just on the historical centre, if you go for it.
3) The Giant's Causeaway
The Giant's Causeway is an interesting place steeped in history and myth. The visitor center gives good information and then it is an easy kilometer or so walk downhill to where the causeway is.
It does offer accessible paths and ramps that allow wheelchair users to explore this iconic natural wonder (it's worth noting that its unlikely wheelchair users will be able to explore the rock formations). Additionally, the visitor center offers accessible facilities and services.
4) Navan Centre and Fort
Regarded as one of the best attractions in Northern Ireland, this gem offers great exhibits and information about the old times in the building.
There is also a really cool hut in which you'll see how people acted as if they are living life 2,000 years ago!
5) Rowallane Garden
If you are a garden lover then you will enjoy the scenery, walks and tranquility that the Rowallane Garden has to offer! Plus coffee or any beverages you like available and food before or after the walk.
It offers accessible paths that wind through the enchanting gardens, providing a tranquil and wheelchair-friendly space for visitors to explore.
6) Crawfordsburn Country Park
Crawfordburn Country Park is a beautiful country park with forest walks and a lovely beach. It offers a wheelchair-friendly coastal path which allows visitors to enjoy the stunning beach, woodland, and waterfall within the park.
The paths are well maintained but some can be muddy especially in winter, and it can get very busy on the warmer summer days with restricted open hours, so best to get there early!
