In 2013, ABIR architects were commissioned to design a new 850 m² visitor centre, consisting of an entrance, shop, galleries, café and community spaces.

The buildings were conceived as two primary elements – green oak frame and Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) – and aim to provide knowledge and understanding of modern forms of construction, making clear references to their historical counterparts whilst marrying traditional and modern technology and materials. Both of the entrance buildings are designed and built as solid timber buildings.
