There is only 1 toilet and a queue can form very quickly. You can't buy food or drink so you might need a picnic unfortunately there is only 2 tables to sit at but there plenty of grass to sit on. You can only see the lime kilns from below as it's closed at the top to keep you safe but its worth a trip as there small gaps to crawl through and you can look up at the sky. There is a small garden you can visit that can shelter you from the wind and is a nice sun trap. When we were there the sun was out but the wind was ripping through the castle grounds so you might want to bring variety of...

A 5* experience for our American guests However, I was informed by these intrepid travellers they were part of a 100 strong Choir with a special mission to sing in firstly Durham Cathedral, then St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh finishing their recitals at our magnificent St Mary’s Cathedral also in Edinburgh. My wife and I were enormously privileged to be invited to their final programme in our magnificent St Mary’s. Their world famous organist, Bradley Hunter Welch and the amazing Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church “Sanctuary Choir” conducted by Steven Jobman from Dallas Texas produced an immaculate evening of music my wife and I will never forget. So beautiful and spiritual the effects of this unique experience will never leave us. Come back soon - friends made and never to...
