Accessibility

'We don't have power or loos on Sapgate, but the Community Centre is nearby and we can use those facilities for wee and a brew.

Parking is on street nearby, best to come along Northcliffe Drive and park on Sapgate Lane ,before you get Heathcliff Mews- after that it turns into cobbles.'
