The new ‘welcome building’ will be a key element in enhancing the natural beauty spot’s visitor experience. It will provide a central hub for visitors, offering a range of amenities and services. The café will serve locally sourced food and drinks, while the shop will offer souvenirs and local crafts. Staff facilities will ensure the site is well-run and maintained. The car park will provide ample parking for visitors. The project is expected to cost around £1.5 million, with funding coming from a combination of public and private sources. The project is expected to create jobs and boost the local economy.
