The museum is fully accessible, with a wheelchair lift to the first floor and café.
Monument
The lighthouse and lighthouse cottages are 200m from the museum along a tarmac path.
Entry to the lighthouse is over a 15cm-high step. It is explored by climbing a spiral staircase of more than 200 steps (no handrail).
The top level, which houses the lantern, is reached via a narrow wooden ladder (with handrail).
The lighthouse cottages are all on the ground level. Each has a raised threshold at its entrance. You can ask a museum steward to arrange ramped access.
