Marie and her family live in the beautiful county of Dorset. Marie founded the idea while walking in the Peak District. She became increasingly frustrated with the lack of freely available information on walks suitable for those with access challenges and after some research decided to create www.walkswithwheelchairs.com.

"We have a lot of time for Walks with Buggies, a nationwide online directory of free and easy-going family walks."
Brian Schofield. Sunday Times 15.2.09
"You have clearly found an interesting gap in the market, and I am sure that they will prove an extremely valuable resource for people across the country".
David Laws MP for Yeovil
"The concept of highlighting free and accessible walks and encouraging people to explore our wonderful countryside is an extremely worthwhile project". Martin Cook, chairman of the Marlborough Area Development Trust
"You are to be commended on a most useful website, it's just what I've been looking for, for years. We have a daughter who is wheelchair bound and my husband's mother aged 92 is also in a wheelchair. Our problem is always finding somewhere to take them where it is also suitable to walk our dog. We recently took a holiday in Devon where your site proved invaluable".
