Water Tower Admission:
Usually a charge is made but as a welcome back there will be no entry charges for the rest of the season for Sunday Openings.

In addition to the Tower, The Hermitage is open on the following dates

If you require wheelchair access please contact the Friend's secretary, Mrs Julia Gertz, at least one day before your proposed visit as it will be necessary to access the site by an alternative route than West Street, which is a stepped entrance.
