A great wee place to visit though I think the castle and it's signage is in real need of an upgrade and clean up. That said the portions of the ruin are easily reachable and safe though the external views are much better than what is still visible inside. External views are great with some awesome views up from the beach. The grass areas directly adjacent are well kept have some lovely seat and some public BBQ stands.

If you've got young kids there is a lovely play area above the castle where you pay to park. We enjoyed it, worth a look and...
