Please be aware that the castle is no longer accessible to the public due to unsafe masonry. It has actually been sold to a private owner and it’s therefore unlikely to reopen in the foreseeable future. It is still a fine building to view from the outside, particularly from the river bank opposite.

Beautiful castle ruin with plenty of grounds for the kids to run around in. Head down the steps to the left of the castle for a riverside picnic.
