COVID-19
Most visitor centres are now open. For your safety and to ensure staff can look after you, visitor capacity has been reduced, with fewer guided tours and smaller numbers on each – but you can still visit and spend time at many of the sites, enjoy a cup of coffee and breathe in the sea air!
Please check in advance, plan your visit and you’ll be sure to receive a warm welcome and a memorable day out.
