Great place to visit. Surrounded by country side and great views. It is free to enter if you are part of national heritage otherwise I think its less than a tenner. Your pretty much free to roam anywhere which is great if you consider yourself an explorer. Takes probably at most an hour to go around but there are plenty of other walks around the area.

Lovely views from the top wall... toilet facilities, not much shade so gets hot if weather good. Dogs welcome on lead. There is a shop at entrance and free carpark but you have to pay to see the castle. There is a snack hut but was shut October 8th when we went. There are picnic tables and it would make a lovely spot for a picnic.

This is an English Heritage site. it's a very well looked after site and worth a wander around, car parking is free, at the entrance their is a small shop where you also pay to get in if you're a non member, you can also grab a coffee or tea if you need a drink, and some picnic benches are available too. It has some good views of the surrounding country side from the top of the walls which you can access from some steps, also you can have a guided tour as well.

As castles go, this one is very cool. Not used for defence, but rather to watch hunting (hundreds of years ago, there's no hunting there now, don't worry). You can go through the whole castle and see everything. Advise booking in advance, you can save quite a bit by doing so.

Absolutely loved it here. It is so beautiful and interesting. We had a great afternoon wandering around. I am a creative writer at heart and it was so inspiring to my writer's mind. The lady at the ticket office was lovely, and really informative. Thanks for a great day! Also very good parking (it's free).
