Since the Castle is privately owned, and in the grounds of a family home, we would request all visitors to:
Please do not drive through the entrance gates
Please park outside the grounds on the grass under the beech trees on the left if dry, or on the main road if wet, leaving space for other vehicles to pass.
Please sign in on arrival and provide your contact details
Please do not climb on the walls of the ruin, or allow children to do so
Please respect the signs regarding which part of the site is open to the public and which is closed, for your own safety and our privacy
Dogs are welcome, provided they are kept on a lead, and their owners clean up after them.
CCTV is in operation, and your access to the site is granted on condition that your consent is given to images being recorded and stored primarily for crime prevention purposes.
All access is at your own risk. We have made all reasonable efforts to ensure the site is safe, but it is a 900 year old ruin with slippery stones and grass access paths.
Finally, the owners reserve the right to refuse entry at their discretion.
