A blind woman has written a travel guide to Norwich highlighting tourist spots for people with disabilities.

Janet Pinkerton Baker, from Essex, hopes to start a series of the guides to cities around the UK.

Ms Pinkerton Baker, who became blind after a stroke, says that more than 40% of the UK's 8.5m registered disabled people never go on holiday.

"The family or carers cannot access the information to make sure that this destination will give their loved one a change or a really good holiday."

She says good provision is made for disabled travellers at Norwich Castle, which has wheelchair access and is fitted with a loop system for the hard-of-hearing.

She also gives top marks to Norwich railway station, Hotel Nelson, and river boat trips.

Also singled out for praise is Norwich Cathedral, where visitors' officer Andrew MacFayden said: "There are guides on duty for everyone in the cathedral and they're happy to show anyone around, visually impaired or not.

"They really can describe anything.

"This cathedral is not just about what you can see - it's a place of light and sound."

Ms Pinkerton Baker's guide will be available in January.
