We regret that Fort Grey is not accessible to wheelchairs or push-chairs.
The Fort is entered via a staircase and steep steps which those with restricted mobility or impaired vision might find difficult.
There are also steps up to the Shipwreck Museum and within the tower.
We recommend that visitors with special needs visit the AccessAble page on Fort Grey, which gives a detailed description of access - click here.
Assistance dogs are welcome at Fort Grey but we do not accept other pets. We ask that assistance dogs wear the appropriate tabards or harness, so our staff know that they are working animals. If you are in any doubt about bringing your assistance dog, please contact us for more information on (+44) 01481 226518 or museums@gov.gg. Dogs are allowed on the beach beside the Fort.
