AUTISM FRIENDLY UK DESTINATIONS

The UK offers so much to autistic families looking to stay a little closer to home, with the added benefit of knowing that you are making an eco-conscious choice too!

​

Travelling with autistic children can be challenging, with many physical, sensory and access barriers to overcome. For some families flying is a distant dream, their children simply cannot cope with all the extra demands the journey would place on them. ​ 

​

However the UK offers vibrant cities, stunning coastlines, impressive stately homes, exciting animal encounters, world class museums and mysterious woodlands - there really is is something for everyone. ​​We love exploring our own country and have collated some of our best experience for you, making sure to say what worked well for our autistic boys, with a focus on sensory environments and experiences.  â€‹â€‹Use the sections below for ideas, and start planning your next amazing autism friendly staycation today!
