FAQ & Location

Self-guided tours have no time limit, you are free to wander the grounds and exhibition spaces at your leisure. 

Guided tower tour slots are 15 mins duration, with no time limit on self-guided elements. 

Group tours which include the full guided tour experience last around 45 mins depending on group size, and again, visitors can explore the grounds at their leisure.

Access to the tower depends on height, not age. Children must be a minimum of 1.2m height to climb the tower.

If your child is too small to go up the tower, parents/guardians can take it in turns to go up the tower while the other stays with the child. If there is only one adult in the group, they will be unable to go up the tower.

The lighthouse is an old and quirky building and there are issues with accessibility. We do have a wheelchair ramp into the lighthouse but only those who can climb the tower can access this part of the building.
