Best for families who want a scenic historic day out across a range of ages, pairing a quick look round the manor with longer castle and woodland walks.

โœ“ Castle and manor houseโœ“ Gardens and woodland walksโœ“ Views from the castleโœ“ Cafe on siteโœ“ Good for all ages

๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

A ruined castle with far-reaching views, a portrait-filled manor and woodland paths make this an easy stop that suits a range of ages and energy levels, with deer to spot if luck holds. The house itself is quickly seen, so the walks, grounds and open space for children to run are what fill the day; set expectations low on the gift shop front.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กSave it for fair weather, when the gardens and walks come into their own
โฐClimb up to the castle for the best views across the site
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธAsk at the cafe about gluten free options, which have been available
๐Ÿš—Allow time for the woodland walks rather than just the house, which does not take long to see

โ€œStopped here to break up the journey and let little Ru have a run. We had very tired legs due to the weeks walking along the coastal path so we only walked as far as the castle and back but it was a great site. The views from the top of the castle were glorious and the old woods were lovely to walk through on a hot day. The little takeaway cafe had two gluten free options! The chocolate orange tart was very good, the pastry actually tasted of pastry. Would definitely visit again on our way past.โ€

โ€œReally lovely place for a day out, historic elements and great storytelling though the manor with all the portraits of those who lived there. Excellent garden and views all around! Only minor was that one of the staff in the cafe was a bit rude but the cakes were good!โ€

โ€œLovely day out especially if the weather is good. The house is interesting but it doesn't take long to see it all! Some really nice walks and the castle is good for a little explore. Great day for all ages. If you're lucky, you may spot the deer ๐Ÿ˜Šโ€

Overview

A National Trust estate where the storytelling carries the day: a manor hung with portraits of the families who lived there, then paths out across parkland towards the ruined castle, with views opening up along the way. Pram access and a car park make the arrival easy, and there's room to let tired legs stretch or little ones run before settling in the cafe.
