Brilliant little castle to explore. Dog friendly. Free parking (if you park in the far car park), or pay and display near the park. Lovely walk through some woodland. Castle it free to enter. Not staffed, so you can explore without issues. Spectacular views. Lovely place for a picnic.

Free entry to these beautiful ruins of the castle. Make sure you park the car in the village or car park as there is no access by car to the castle.

Beautiful views from the castle, 360 degrees of wonderful country and sea It is a trek from parking areas (all uphill) but lovely views on the way If going by satnav/Google maps it'll take you down a tight, single track road and halfway there's a sign saying no parking at castle! Would be better to put the sign at the front of the lane, had to reverse all the way down! Free entry Town is also lovely, would 10/10 recommend and will revisit!

Went up the the castle a couple of weeks ago, it's quite a steep walk up so bear that in mind. The castle is free entry, dogs are welcome but need to be kept on a lead. Beautiful views once inside the ruins and looking out over the estuary. Steps to go up and view parts of the castle and boards with information on the castle and its history. The three times that I have been up there its been just me and the dogs, very quiet and peaceful here. Definitely worth a visit if you like castles and beautiful views.

Nice walk in the sun up to the castle. The view were great. I would advice walk around the castle on the way down and loop back to the most beautiful beach. Was great to take our dog!

Bit of a steep walk but lovely views from the castle. Interesting information about the history and how it was years ago.

Once you get up to the castle, the views are amazing. Particularly like the stone spiral staircase taking you up a couple of floors! Free entry makes this an enjoyable, cheap day out.
