Facilities & access

Almost all of the site is accessible with a little care and patience.

There are cobbled paths on the site but the grass verges can be used in dry weather.

The path to the broch and wheelhouse area is too narrow for wheelchairs but access is possible for more mobile visitors. Seating is available within the grounds.

The interpretation centre houses a hands-on display of local materials traditionally used on site including stone and slate.

A sound loop is available at cash till area.

Arrangements have been made for visitors to Jarlshof to have access to toilets in the nearby Sumburgh Hotel
