Best for families wanting a short, accessible outing to hilltop castle ruins, with far-reaching views and history boards to piece the old walls back together.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
The pull here is the view: on a clear day the elevated ruins look out a very long way over the market town and surrounding countryside, with history boards to explain what once stood. Treat it as an hour of exploring and a picnic rather than a full day out, and keep a close hold on small children near the steep drops and taller walls.

“Lovely medieval castle ruins, free to have a look around. Reasonable amount there, nicely maintained, incredible views, lots of information signs and places to sit. Seems to be a walk that continues below the castle, but we didn't have time as we'd only nipped to have a look on the spur of the moment. Small free car park, which is locked at 6pm. We will stop off again with a picnic in the future!”

“Great location, cross 2 wooden bridges and arrive and the main Castle, great views and historic information and plans of the castle, very good condition and all fully accessible, there is a car park with a very short flat walk to the actual castle and the views are great.”

“Castle ruins but great views around the whole area. Great for a walk and to visit the quaint village below.”

Overview
Two wooden footbridges lead across to the main ruins, where stone foundations and taller fragments of wall sit high above the village. Benches are dotted about for a sit and a picnic, the history boards map out what each section once was, and the surfaced paths make it manageable with a pram. The village below is worth the wander down afterwards.
