Amazing piece of history. I liked the way they led you on a self-guided tour with the informational plaques, each one describing and illustrating an area and its function before directing you to the next area. I highly recommend taking the walk to the top of the mott; the view from there was spectacular. Imagine how far you could see from the top of the tower that once stood on it! The volunteers we spoke to were lovely; well-informed, friendly, and enthusiastic about the subject. The handouts provided, which were keyed to the informational plaques with numbers and maps made it very easy to imagine how the place looked in its heyday. Well maintained grounds, and not a scrap of refuse to be seen. Highly recommended!
Great place! On weekdays it’s nice and quite so you can enjoy it at your own leisure without having kids and dogs running around! There is some restoration planned to go ahead but still a great visit. The moat is filled currently so it’s a great time to visit. The castle has easy access just across the road from the railway station. Free access just a option to donate on your way out which is recommended! So try preserve this great bit of history for as little as £3.00!
An amazing site to visit! There's lots of information displayed about the historical significance of this castle. We had a great time exploring, going up the steps to get a bird's eye view of everything and the wells were so interesting too! Would recommend a visit.
