Virtual tour

If you’d like a sneak-peek, click the arrow for a short guide to the inside, outside and history of the Lion Salt Works.

Please note, some of the audio on the video is a little out of date as it was produced during the pandemic when the Salt Works was closed to visitors. The narrator says ‘guided tours are no longer possible’ – ignore that! We are fully open and welcoming visitors to look around the site in real life.
