With North Devon now in Tier 3, operations at all our facilities - including Chelfham - have now ceased.
All sites remain closed to visitors, passengers and casual volunteers until further notice.
There is a need to carry out - under strict controls - certain essential tasks relating to site-security, health and safety and the protection of the integrity of our assets from decay or expensive repairs.
Coronavirus related risks will be assessed and it is intended that a limited number of suitably skilled volunteers will follow strict guidelines and method statements whilst carrying out these essential maintenance tasks.
