CareCo said they wanted to discover where the most accessible cities are.

"When we define accessibility, we mean that people with mobility issues or disabilities aren’t excluded from activities," they explained.

"We understand that accessibility can be far more reaching than this, but for our research below, we’ve looked at accessibility as something defined by how easy or difficult it is for people to visit restaurants, attractions, toilets, accommodation and parking if they, for example, used a mobility scooter or wheelchair.

"We believe at CareCo that accessibility should be available for all."
