⭐️ There are low beams and trip hazards along with steep, narrow stairs.

⭐️ Only a limited number of people can access the upstairs at a time – so you may have to wait.

⭐️ Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

⭐️ There are no toilet facilities available.

🎫 ADMISSION - FREE
Admission is free but donations towards the upkeep are very much welcome.

πŸ…ΏοΈ PARKING
