An absolutely wonderful castle ruin. Impressive and incredibly atmospheric, I loved every second. There's plenty of well written information boards providing great background and fascinating stories. The views are wonderful over the very cute town of Montgomery. A great place for kids to run around and explore too - brilliant fuel for the imagination.

This is a fascinating place with lots to see and read which gives you a lot of history and paints a great picture of the history. It is a steep climb to reach the castle site but we'll worth it.

Atmospheric ruins with commanding views over the Welsh Marches. The castle played a key role in the subjugation of the Welsh princes and the English Civil War. A few interpretation boards at key points explain the history and function of various parts of the castle. Free to enter, with free parking right next door at the top of the hill.

Just amazing views, nice little walk on a very sunny day , a wonderful start of our holiday in the area! The entry is a free. The ruin has a double moat ( dry now) a good educational place for anyone of school age or interest in history or defence tactics for that era. Nice , tidy , well maintained grounds. Thank you for making our day magical

These castle ruins are quite interesting to see. Information and brief history is provided throughout the castle grounds also. There is a small car park at the entrance with signs leading to the bridge of the castle. It is a lovely walk around the grounds, with benches available for you to sit and take in the beautiful Shropshire scenery.

Well worth a visit. Interesting history with excellent story boards explaining the role the castle played in the middle ages. Grounds are very well maintained. Quite a steep walk up the well surfaced path from the town but worth it for the wonderful views over Montgomery and the surrounding countryside.

Beautiful view of the countryside. Well kept castle run. Nice walks in and around it. Care dogs only but everyone had a dog. Some parking near the castle but overflow parking in the town with a brisk walk up the hill.
