New toilets
As well as changes to the layout, we've improved visitor facilities with a brand-new toilet block. The previous toilets did not provide the standard of experience visitors expect. The new block is more accessible and environmentally friendly, allowing more people to enjoy the area.
Inside there are three unisex cubicles, including baby change facilities, a larger accessible WC, and a ‘Changing Places’ standard cubicle which has the highest standards of accessibility, and provides a hygienic and dignified space, for those that have complex disabilities.
The block was carefully designed in a modular fashion, allowing it to be relocated if and when cliff erosion requires it. The design of the new block uses sustainable techniques to keep its environmental impact low, and includes solar panels to reduce energy consuption. We have designed it to blend into the landscape by using natural materials.
Jennie Healey, National Trust Project Manager, said: “We have taken a similar approach on other Island coastal schemes and it highlights the environmental importance of being able to source local construction materials. This is a feature that runs throughout the project and makes it truly sustainable, which is very important to us."
