Disabled access:
Whilst every effort has been made to assist the disabled to appreciate the history and architecture of this magnificent building, we regret that, due to its structure, a number of areas within the fort are not fully accessible for wheelchairs. The parkland around the fort has a number of pathways that are suitable for wheelchairs.
