A lovely castle with large grounds. The castle is nestled in a big field with a large surrounding stone wall. Once inside you can see the structures as they once were, it has many openings in its walls and the fact you can walk around the whole area is a bonus. Parking is on a busy main road and will take time to find a safe parking spot. Its well worth a visit but parking is tricky, cheers

Beautiful place to visit and let the kids roam around and explore. No one else around so we spent ages there. Some rooms and nooks to explore. Then had a walk around the outside of it. Very impressive structure in a stunning countryside location. Parking for 1 car directly across from entrance to field in disused gateway. Will go back again.

There is a little laneway marked with a green and white bollard just past the sign for the castle. Drive up the laneway alongside the corn and there is another entrance to the castle field you can park at. The castle ruins are fun to explore and there is a little information plaque inside.

Dicey parking, you fly past it the first time turn around through a gate, a bridge, a field to a forgotten gem of a castle. Health and safety be damned, go explore, climb, listen as the wind whispers dreams unspoken for hundreds of years.

Please do something to make this place more accessible, it has so much potential to be a local attraction; a car park & picnic benches with some toilets is all it needs.

One of my favourite places to visit. Peaceful and serene. Perfect for a picnic and some quiet time to think. I will always come back to it.
