Essential information
There is a flat walk of approximately 27 yards from the coach parking area to The Pearls entrance. A limited number of lifts provide access to each floor and to the viewing platform. The running order of visited sites might vary and run in a reverse order if considered necessary, this could be down to local traffic conditions or in order to avoid congestion at the main sites.
