Café – Nearby Fox House Inn with all facilities – Longshaw Café for refreshments and snacks. Toilets – There are toilets at Fox House Inn and the Longshaw café. Path - The short path is only suitable for motorised wheelchairs and is made up of crushed stone with some undulations and rock lumps [ see photo’s ], and the path is on a slope, and is a there and back walk. This is not a path for manual wheelchairs but from the car park and on the roadway you can get some marvellous views and there is 1 bench at the start of the walk. The path is better to visit in a dry weather spell as it can be muddy. To help, Allen’s map on the website is marked with the No. of the photo and direction the photo was taken – i.e. looking from B2 - S represents the photo taken in this position facing south.
