Road update: The road from Petticowick up to the lighthouse remains CLOSED due to a rock fall early on Sunday morning. The road is closed to all walkers and vehicles for safety reasons. We are currently in contact with Geological Engineers and hope to have some more information by the end of the week. Please do not attempt to walk or drive along this stretch of the road for your own safety.

Diversion signs have been put up on footpaths for those wishing to walk between the lighthouse and Petticowick (highlighted in green on the map below). For those unable to walk as far as Petticowick there is still parking available at Petticowick, but this is extremely limited and we ask that you only use it if you are unable to get to this end of the reserve on foot, in consideration of those who cannot. Apologies for any inconvenience caused, we are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Lizy

Unfortunately we have had to close the road from Petticowick to the less-abled car park at the lighthouse due to a landslip early this morning. After a night of heavy rain part of the rock face has fallen onto the road, and we are concerned that more could follow. Please do not try to use this section of the road until we have carried out safety checks on the remaining rock face. Many thanks, Lizy Smith
