One of the more common questions we get about Fort Tombecbe is why we strongly encourage people to contact us before visiting the site. One answer is that much of the land around the fort is privately owned, including the land with the access road to the site, and you must go through a privately-owned gate and cattle gap to access that road. There are often cattle grazing in the fields near the fort. We ask that anyone wishing to visit the fort respect the rights of the private landowners and that you do not access the fort without a guide from UWA.
Another answer is that there has been quite a bit of vandalism, littering, and looting of the site over the years. We hope to reduce this sort of destructive behavior by keeping up with "who goes there!"
Besides these reasons, you may get more out of your visit with one of our knowledgeable staff members along!
