respectively.
The planned programme of open days for 2010 is as follows:

- Sunday the 13th June

On open days, the forge is open
from 2pm to 5pm (last admission 4:30pm) and a small admission charge is made to contribute towards the
restoration and maintenance of the site.
Please also note that:
Access to the main areas of the forge is by a flight of steep
steps and the floors of the working area are uneven. Disabled access is
therefore very limited.
There are no toilet facilities at the site.
A range of souvenirs are available
at the forge including technical drawings, postcards and souvenir coffee mugs.
