Britain’s
battlefields are one of the less visible aspects of our country’s history.
There is usually little to see in terms of the actual battle that took place
there – perhaps just some earthworks, a monument, or the remains of a defensive
ditch.
But the
magic of visiting a battlefield doesn’t always lie in what you can see. More
often it is about the sense of history, and the memory of the dramatic,
terrible events that took place there. These sites have their very own
atmosphere – they are often remote, dramatic places that are unlike any other
kind of historic site.
There are
few places outside Italy that are more synonymous with coffee culture than
Seattle. After all, it is the birthplace of one the world’s most popular and
ubiquitous chains – Starbucks – that has brought coffee to the masses.
But there
is so much more to Seattle’s coffee scene than just Starbucks. There are also
plenty of interesting independent coffee shops too. And the great news is that
most of the city’s best coffee shops are also fully accessible.
So, with
that in mind, here is Quingo Scooters’ guide to five of the Emerald City’s very
best accessible coffee shops.
The UK
has a wonderful variety of birds, and diverse range of habitats to explore.
From remote wetlands and seabird colonies to lakes and forests, there is so
much for bird lovers to enjoy across Britain.
Even if
you’re not the biggest twitcher in the world, these are still wonderful places
to discover – peaceful getaways that give you a chance to reconnect with
nature. There are also plenty of places to see birds that are accessible to all,
too.
Here, we
pick out just a few, for Quingo Scooters’ guide to the best accessible getaways
for UK birdwatchers.
If you’re looking for a great American city break, then Chicago
well and truly has it all. It’s got a rich and fascinating history (think Al
Capone and the Prohibition era), plus world-class museums and galleries.
Foodies love it too – it’s famous for its many farmers markets and
the quality of its restaurants (23 of them have Michelin stars!). But there are
also a few surprises too: who knew that it also has 15 beaches where you can
swim?
That last one is strictly for the summer however – in the winter
Chicago gets bitterly cold, and we’d recommend visiting in the warmer months
from May to late September.
The
foodie revolution has truly taken hold here in the UK. And some of the best
places to sample the finest in Britain’s local produce are, of course, our
farmers’ markets.
They are
heaven for those of us who like to try new food and drink, and they are often also
an opportunity to meet the producers themselves. The great news is that most of
them are also easily accessible for those of us with different mobility needs.
So, here is Quingo Scooters pick of the best accessible farmers’ markets in the
UK.
