Before you go
How to actually get in for free
- In winter the enclosure shuts at 5:30pm - before sunset - so sunset visits are only possible in summer (until 7:30pm).
- Bring water: there are no shops on the hill. Bus 22 gets you closest.
- It's a residential area; keep noise down - night access was closed after complaints.
