Travel and Tourism

Tom Walker reports on the accessibility of the royal yacht Britannia, the couple who say cruises are the best holiday when you're blind and extreme travel: 10 countries in 12 days.

Partially sighted Kevin Mclaughlin has travelled alone through ten countries in twelve days; he talks to Peter White about his experience of what he calls "extreme travel".

Hazel Dudley and her husband Wayne, who are both blind, have been taking cruise holidays for the past ten years and tell us why they think it's the only way to travel.

And is the UK's number one tourist attraction leading the way in accessibility? We sent Tom Walker along with visually impaired wheelchair user Cindy Godfrey-Mckay, to check out the Royal Yacht Britannia.
