MCP Visitor Centre refurbishment and extension
20/11/09
Over the next few weeks we will be embarking on an exciting programme of improvements to the Visitor Centre.
This project includes the construction of a single storey extension and remodelling of the ground floor interior, which will make the centre, lighter, brighter and more environmentally friendly!
Work will begin on Monday 23rd of November and will be complete by the beginning of April.
If you would like more information on this project, please come and ask at the Rangers Office. Plans will also be on display in the Visitor Centre.
During the majority of this period Café Diem and the Visitor Centre itself will remain open.
Please do bear with us during this time and be aware that diversions from normal paths around the visitor centre may be in place.
