Parking

Free parking is available in our visitor car park, which is signposted from Fort Road. Please note that there is a height barrier at the entrance to this car park. If your vehicle is taller than 1.8 metres please call ahead to arrange access.

There are two allocated disabled car parking bays in the old moat (just outside main entrance), which is accessed via Fort Rise, rather than following signs to main car park. Fort Rise is a single lane access road, the entrance to which is to the left of the large sign directing visitors to the main car park.
