A single track road for about 1.5 miles of the A483. Free parking for about 5 cars. A long uphill walk (moderate) to the castle. Stunning views from the top. Take a picnic. Free entry. Well worth an hour or so if you are passing. No toilets, facilities etc.

Narrow lane to drive up to parking. Parking for about 4 or 5 cars.
A short walk up to the castle. 1st part is very steep.
Story boards around the castle explaining its history.
Lovely views from the top.
It's just a stop off point, not a day out.

Lovely vista. Tho not disabled access unless your using a quad ;)
Extremely steep access road perfect for keeping people out of your hill fort 😜

Lovely Sunday walk around the castle. Such beautiful views, I imagine even better on a clearer day. The route up to the castle is steep and this time of year slippery so do take care

A loooong steep walk up to the castle but worth it. Nice ruins and a lovely view. Very quiet so nice place to go for a picnic and to sit relax and read a book

Good castle, with lovely views. Steep walk to get to the castle but easily achievable if you have average fitness. Free access.

Love a bit of history. Extensive ruins, but you can see the modern brick work. Lovely walk up from the car park. Some stunning views.
