Dumbarton Castle

Unfortunately closed for them to shore up the rocks. Very necessary, but we were unable to climb up or see much of the castle. You can get a few pictures of one of the upper walls from the park right on the banks of the River Clyde. Still impressive looking up from the ground.

Although it's closed for safety reasons it looks spectacular on the outside, these photos taken on my phone don't do it justice, I'm sure the ones I took on my camera will be much better. The reason for the four is I didn't want to make.it lower and I'm when or if it reopens it will be justifiably a five

It got great scenery, the shore around the rock has many to offer.
The green field is really green.
Sadly, the castle is said opened for public on Google map, actually under construction.
We got appetizer, dessert but not main course here.

Lovely place not open to the public at the moment due to renovation.
We stopped over night in the car park lovely place peaceful.

Quirky castle which was nice to explore. But for the cost of £6 an adult there wasn't much to see and some sections where blocked off due to work being done which is understandable but would of been nice if that had been reflected in the price. Majority of the visit is outdoors with lots of steps to the top but lovely views all round. There's also a trig point to bag near the top!

Great well maintained castle. Need to pre-book as small parties are shown around. Parking is situated at the base of the Castle just outside the entrance. Be prepared for lots of stairs but you will see some great views over the Clyde.

When we arrived the staff was very nice. Sadly this more or less is where the positives end. So it's £6 per adult and I've been left wondering why ? The only other positive was the view and that's it. It basically isn't a castle. It has a few out buildings all of which are closed off and not because of Covid, just closed. Its all outside and again can't really be called a castle when well it doesn't have a castle lol. It's again just outbuildings and you can't even get in. If it was free then fair enough it would maybe be worth the visit for the view. So if you want to pay £6 to basically walk up stairs and hills for the sake of a view then this is for you. If not then sadly its not worth the money. Very disappointed.

Amazing! The views from the top are fabulous. So much history to learn about. Definitely worth a visit.
