New Feature Focus: Trail-Side Hygiene That Works

🚻 Toilets. Let’s Talk About Them.

The overlooked essentials that make or break a day outdoors.

Let’s be honest, no matter how stunning the view or well-marked the trail, if you don’t know whether there’s a usable loo nearby, the entire outing feels riskier than it should.

We’ve heard this again and again from wheelchair users, families, and trail-goers with access needs:
“It’s not the path I’m worried about, it’s whether I can go comfortably, with dignity, and without guessing.”

So we want to start mapping. Properly.

What We’re Tracking

Because “accessible” should mean more than “might work if everything aligns.”

  • Accessible toilets — with radar key notes when needed
  • Changing Places facilities — for people who need more space, more equipment, more care
  • Hygiene stop-offs — cafés and rest points with genuinely usable, step-free access (and maybe a good flapjack, too)

Because a scenic walk shouldn’t mean holding your breath and hoping the car park loo isn’t locked.
Because comfort and confidence are just as important as gradients and gates.

Ready to find trails where your needs are part of the map, not an afterthought?

  • Explore our route library
  • Plan with care-first filters
  • Add your own insights or loo spots we’ve missed

This is planning as empowerment. Access as infrastructure.
Let’s map the kind of outdoors that welcomes you all the way, from the trailhead to the toilet and back again.
