Is Bellaghy Bawn open for visitors, and is there parking?

Bellaghy Bawn is listed as closed for renovations for the foreseeable future, despite being advertised as a free heritage monument.

The fortified historic site on Castle Street in Bellaghy normally has on-site parking, but its current tourism listing states that the attraction is closed. Free admission in an older attractions guide does not override a closure notice. The same listing mentions limited wheelchair access, which should not be mistaken for a promise that the restored attraction is currently accessible.

Practical advice: Check for an explicit reopening notice before travelling specifically for Bellaghy Bawn. If already visiting Bellaghy, distinguish the closed monument from the separately operated Seamus Heaney HomePlace.
