Accessibility:
There are two car parks within walking distance of the quarry workings. There are no designated disability spaces and the car parks are gravel or compacted soil. Paths to the quarries and the workings are generally unsurfaced and unneven so great care should be taken. They are probably not suitable for wheelchairs.
