Visitors and education centre

The visitor and education centre building has been closed and inaccessible since an incident of arson. We are working with officers from relevant services to explore options to reinstate and improve the infrastructure of the building.

We are also considering proposed suggestions from an interested group of individuals and the local councillor.

Information on how we aim to proceed will be publicly available before any final decisions are made. Updates will be provided both on this page and with on-site information displays.
