Accessibility Win: Changing Places Facility Opens at Malham

17 May 2026

One of the Dales' most famous beauty spots has become a lot more welcoming this weekend with the official opening of a brand-new, fully accessible Changing Places facility

The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority has officially cut the ribbon on a state-of-the-art Changing Places toilet located right at the Malham National Park Visitor Centre. Specifically engineered for visitors with profound physical or learning disabilities, the room comes fully equipped with a ceiling hoist, an adult-sized height-adjustable changing bench, and plenty of space for up to two carers. National Park bosses say the facility is a massive victory for inclusivity, ensuring that families who rely on specialised equipment can now plan a day out at Malham Cove without facing barriers.
