What a beautiful spot. Firstly, the views of the castle, both full and partial, from the beach and car park are tremendous. Ascending the steep climb on foot, you're greeted by a wonderful, tranquil spot to take in the bay and the outstanding scenery. The norman tower (the square tower) is incredible, considering its age and lack of rebuilding. As a place to take a quiet half hour surrounded by history, I can't imagine better!

Lovely walks, interesting castle, clean beach (for a river estuary). No dogs allowed on the main part of the beach during summer months but plenty of other places to walk with them. Refreshments available from a kiosk, also sells chips etc. Free parking and castle.

Be aware you can’t drive to it! Park at the beach and walk up. If you drive up you’ll be met with very narrow roads, no passing points, lots of pedestrians you’ll annoy as they have to stand in bushes, no real turn point and 100% no car park at the end of the road by the castle… just park at the beach and walk up ?

Short walk up hill & worth it when at the Ruins. Great views of the surroundings and lots to see. You can walk up the medieval spiral staircase of two of the towers. Great fun and full of history. Great for kids to rome free. Peaceful place. Best to visit with good weather.

This is a nice old ruin. Well worth the visit. The walk up the hill is nice as well, and the views make it worth the effort.
