A tarmac path leads from the car park to the visitor centre and standing stones but it is on a gradient and help may be required. The visitor centre, including shop and tearoom, and path around the stones are easily accessible. There is a relief model of the site outside the visitor centre and there is a video presentation in Gaelic and English.
