Accessibility:

There is a gently sloping concrete car park at the venue and toilets with disability facilities. The heritage centre has a temporary ramp to the entrance, and there are trained staff available to help. The route to the hill top can be uneven in places and extra care should be taken - wheelchairs are not recommended. All of the display information is in clear, large print and is also available as an audiotape. Dogs, with the exception of guide dogs, are only allowed in the car park and on a lead. "We regret that due to the nature of the terrain, the hill avails very little access to the disabled, however, the farmyard and heritage centre are wheelchair friendly."
