Disabled Visitors


Newhaven Fort’s exhibitions, shop and café are all accessible. However, some of the tunnels and ramparts are not accessible due to the nature of the architecture and building structure. If you require any assistance or clarification, please call ahead, or ask a staff member during your visit.

Facilities available for disabled visitors:

  • Accessible Toilet
  • A portable induction loop system
  • Drop off and pick up access into the fort, please ring ahead for assistance
  • Use of a wheelchair (this needs to be booked in advanced)
  • Two allocated disabled car parking bays in the moat (just outside main entrance), visitors to follow signage up Fort Rise, rather than follow signs to general car park
