A beautiful place to visit at anytime but one weekend saw a civil war reenactment, muskets, canons and cavalry. Was fantastic

Had a great day in the grounds of the castle watching the Civil War re-enactment. The volunteers made us feel very welcome, and the civil war members spent a great time explaining the intricacies of what they were portraying. Well done everyone.

Excellent place to wander round and go for a walk. There is a guided tour of the restored castle available, but best to book this !!

We were in a playground nearby and decided to see if the castle renovation was finished. It's already open! We have a national trust membership but the castle belongs to English heritage and as we swapping memebership annually we will see the castle itself a bit later, but the cafe inside we can highly recommend for a visit just now. The staff are incredibly friendly and pleasant, they made our little visit very atmospheric

Popped in for a coffee and found out there was a couple of spaces left on the tour, so we paid a fiver each and off we went. ( Normally have to book in advance) The tour lasted about an hour and was very informative and quite entertaining. The guide was very knowledgeable and all staff were very friendly and welcoming.
