Need to know

Sorry, this trip is off track and therefore not suitable for wheelchairs. Most of the rest of our site is accessible and you may wish to book a Tractor Trailer Tour instead, which is also available on our open days. The narrow gauge railway also has an accessible carriage.

Wear strong footwear and long trousers for your adventure across uneven terrain.

Toilets are available at the start and end of the 2.5 hour tour but not en route.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be served on your return and we encourage visitors to bring a packed lunch to enjoy after the walk. Indoor space is available for you to eat, discuss your experience, and get to know new people.
