From abseiling cliff faces to sailing our lakes, many attractions in Yorkshire cater for all levels of mobility. The real beauty of Yorkshire is that whatever you want to do, there's nothing stopping you enjoying the best our county has to offer.
Don't forget there are outdoor activities which can be suitable for a much wider range of people than you think, and there are specialist instructors who can help to make things happen. This section should provide some ideas and inspiration. You will need to contact these places to check if they can meet your individual requirements.
As well as the Trans Pennine Trail, our main On Wheels section highlights a number of family ride suggestions using forest trails, disused railways and canal towpaths, for all the family to enjoy.
At Hatfield Water Park in South Yorkshire you can kayak, build a raft, try a high ropes course, abseil and much more, while at Pugneys Watersports Centre near Wakefield offers fun watersports for all.

Accessible fishingYorkshire's network of natural rivers, post-industrial waterways and rivers offer fantastic fishing and many spots perfect for casting your line.
You can enjoy fishing on the River Ure from one of two accessibility platforms fully adapted for wheelchairs. This is a great trout and grayling fishing site. Here the river winds lazily through meadow land and you will also often see birds such as dippers, grey wagtails, kingfishers and sand martins. With both deep and shallow stretches, the river is ideal for 20lb Pike, 6lb Chub and 3lb Perch, not to mention lazy afternoons relaxing in peace. Day tickets are available from the Dales Countryside Museum in Hawes. Accessible parking is available on site. A leaflet and MP3 audio version 'Access for All in Wensleydale' have further information and can be downloaded here.
Download the Environment Agency's Where to go fishing guide to Yorkshire for more ideas which highlights where fishery owners feel their waters are suitable for disabled anglers. Please check with the fishery owner that the fishery is suitable for you. Do note that you must have a National Rod Licence from the Environment Agency to fish anywhere.

The cave is reached from Clapham by a scenic walk through a nature reserve which takes at least 30 minutes, although it is possible to drive up by prior arrangement.
There's still so much more to do. How about hitting the slopes? Enjoy the speed and freedom of easily accessible skiing at the Snozone in Xscape in Castleford, West Yorkshire.
