The Castle grounds are open all year round.
There is free admission to Castle ruins although, at times, some event entry prices may apply.
We are a self-funding Castle, so car parking fees apply at all times. Please pay at the machine or in the shop when open.
See our Events page for events and entry prices.
Dogs
Dogs are welcome! All we ask is that your dog is always on a lead, and please clear up after them.
Accessibility
Please note that the viewing mound cannot be accessed by wheelchairs users and care must be taken on steps, especially in wet weather.
Group Tours/Guided Walks
Arrange a pre-booked individual or group guided tour or talks during the day or evening (daylight hours only).
We can accommodate groups of eight or more with lunch.
