Accessibility
- We have an accessible route into Reception, please ask for assistance and directions.
- There are various ramps located around the Parade Ground.

- We have wheelchairs available around the Nothe Fort.
- Please note the dimensions for wheelchair access into the lift are 1150mm X 850mm. This unfortunately means that some large mobility scooters with high backs are unable to fit into the lift.

Access Guide Video
This Nothe Fort Access Guide has been created to enable visitors to plan their visit before they come to the Fort.
This film was created by Our Voice Filmmaking Club, a filmmaking club for adults with learning disabilities (supported by Pageant Productions).

“considering it was originally designed to keep people out!”
