Best for adventurous older kids and families who don't mind a steep climb for a dramatic ruin, a hidden cave and sweeping Welsh countryside views.
π Funzaroo Verdict
The underground cave beneath a clifftop castle is what turns an ordinary ruin into an adventure, and the farm, shop and tearoom around it cost nothing to wander. Weigh the climb first: steep and rocky with a trek from the car park, so families with pushchairs or mobility trouble should think carefully.

βReally lovely!! Had such a wonderful time, and the cafΓ© is one of the best Cadw cafΓ©s out there! We also went on a hike in the local area (lots of walking trails and hikes available - we did a bit of the Beacon's way) and used the castle's parking so we didn't have to relocate. Excellent! The castle is up a steep hill and the walking trails are a bit rocky so I wouldn't recommend if you have mobility issues, but overall a really wonderful visit!! The caves under the castle were a particular highlight, as well as the stunning views.β

βFantastic castle, with underground cave! We drove an hour and a half ans it was worth the drive! Its not accessable for wheelchairs or prams, as its a steep walk to the top. The view itself was amazing, and the cave system just made our visit even better. The caves were narrow and low, so wear good sturdy footwear and be careful! The price was also good! We paid Β£5.50 student & child Β£8 Adult Β£6 OAP *THERE ARE WARNINGS FOR ADERS IN THE AREA IF YOUR PLANNING ON TAKING YOUR DOG FOR THE WALKS AROUND THE GROUNDS.β

βLovely castle perched on the edge of a cliff. Arrived right at opening so had the whole place to ourselves for a good half an hour just adding to the magic. Note itβs on a working farm and a good 10-15 mins trek from the cafe/gift shop where you purchase the tickets. Donβt miss the cave, bring a torch if you can. Though we were fine with our phone torches. Some areas of the cave are slippery as is the corridor going down to get to the cave. So shoes with traction are a good idea.β

Overview
Reach it early and the whole ruin can feel like a private discovery, with the castle balanced on its cliff edge and a dark underground passage waiting beneath. It sits on a working farm, so there are animals and a shop to wander past, and the walking trails spilling out across the surrounding hills reward anyone who wants to turn the visit into a proper day's hike.
