Challenges of York’s Cobbled Streets

Treasure Hunt York’s route is designed to be step-free, but York’s historical charm comes with its challenges. The city features many cobbled streets, some of which are quite deep and uneven, posing difficulties for wheelchair users.

Examples of Cobbled Surfaces:

User Experiences

We continually seek feedback to improve our games. Here are some insights from our players:

“One team had a girl who used a wheelchair and so we discovered that your trail is not very wheelchair friendly. She had to be pulled backwards across the cobbles a few times so their group took longer.”

This review highlights the difficulties you may face. However, on a separate occasion, another player reported completing the trail successfully using a powered wheelchair.

Accessible Pubs

We have carefully selected pubs at the halfway point and the end of the treasure hunt with accessibility in mind. These pubs feature:

• Accessible entrances
• Accessible toilets

We hope this helps you decide if Treasure Hunt York is right for you. ⚓️
