    Unfortunately, only ruins can be seen of the castle, which used to be one of the most important castles in Yorkshire.
    Currently, a large visitor center is being built where people would like to show their life at the castle at that time.
    Some of the current ruins are being excavated and preserved so that they do not continue to weather.

      The Visitor Centre is now open and while work still continues on the excavation of more of the historic ruins there is still lots to do and see.
