Programme

The guided tour of AWRP will take around two hours and involves a session in the visitor centre plus a short site tour. This involves a walk which is about 1km in total for the return trip. There is a set of 30 metal steps to climb, although there is a lift for those unable to climb them. They are only able to take one person per tour who would not be able to use the lifts in the event of a site evacuation. It is essential to arrive with suitable footwear and clothing for an industrial site visit. This includes having thick-soled shoes with no open toes and feet fully covered (no bare skin on the feet) – no high heels. Legs must also be covered, preferably by trousers, but leggings or similar are acceptable. Anyone unsuitably dressed will not be allowed on the site tour.
