SELF-GUIDED & GUIDED TOURS
Between the hours of 10:30am-12:30pm, we also offer visitors the chance to climb our incredible Lady Bessie Prescott engine as a self-guided tour - with a free guidebook available to help you explore and navigate the engine by yourself.
Guided Tours of the engine are then available after 1:00pm and last approximately 1 hour. Places are limited to a maximum of 6 people per tour and cost an additional £3. Be sure to book your tour at the front desk when you arrive on the day to avoid missing out!
Please note: all access to the Lady Bessie Prescott engine requires climbing steep stairs and due to historic railings, only those over the height of 1.4m (4' 7") are allowed to ascend the engine.
