Walking the Lift Tour

Not for the faint hearted this behind the scenes tour begins in the visitor centre before you're guided out along the aqueduct, taken into the previously unseen control room and machine deck and finally out up on top of the lift! This tour is not suitable for anyone with a fear of heights. Suitable footwear and clothing must be worn as this is a walking tour with steps. Minimum age 16+.
