Open Country
Helping People with Disabilities to Access the Countryside


Open Country is a Harrogate based organisation that seeks to enable anyone with any disability to access the countryside.
We achieve this through a variety of countryside activities, and the provision of information, training and advice.
Fully accessible transport is provided and teams of trained volunteers are on hand to offer assistance as necessary. For more information about Open Country please click here
