Accessibility/Mobility
Please find below more information regarding accessibility for each of my tours. But should you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Tours are slow paced and I will wait on you before I start talking at each stop.
Should you have hearing issues, I use a voice amplifier on tour so you don't miss what is being said.
Carrickfergus Castle & Islandmagee Witches Walking Tour - This walking tour covers less than a mile of walking. There's a steep ramp to get into Carrickfergus Castle. There are 3 sets of stairs within the keep of the Castle, including an optional spiral staircase. An ordinary staircase is available to use instead if required.

I can bring a folding seat should you require it -just let me know when booking. We then walk up a staircase of 12 stairs within New Moon Holistics, and then sit down for approximately 30 minutes.
If you are a wheelchair user, you could access some areas of the castle, and approximately half of the tour of the castle. If you wish, you could remain on the ground floor of the keep, and I can video call you so you can still hear and see the remainder of the tour. And by arrangement, I could hold the talk in New Moon Holistics on the ground floor (Sundays only). Please get in touch if you'd like more information.
