Best for families who want hands-on history: a medieval castle and manor house where children can handle the furnishings and clothes, with grounds to wander and roam.
π Funzaroo Verdict
The draw here is a castle and house children can actually touch, dress up in and wander through, with staff happy to mind a dog or make the day easier. Allow proper time to reach the tower across the grounds, and pick up a guide on the way in, since the ruins explain little on their own.

βLovely place to explore on a very hot day! Quiet on arrival - possibly due to heat and that we visited late in afternoon. Very child friendly - half term activities included self led trail to find little mice, dressing up, giant chess and craft table. For grown ups i would recommend getting a guide (audio or book) on entry as there isnβt much signage explaining what you are looking at. Stunning architecture. Didnβt make it to the tower - recommend giving plenty of time to your visit to allow for this.β

βLovely place to visitas a destination or passing through. Friendly staff, well maintained and clearly layed out and fun to explore. I enjoyed the visit and wander. The house can be hired as a wedding venue. Shop is well stocked and worth a browse. The tower is a short walk from the house through gates.β

βLoved this last minute find. Fabulous historic castle and house. You can interact, touch, play with the clothing, furniture and interiors. The staff were THE BEST, so welcoming and good fun. We just loved it here. Great gift shop and snacks and tickets here too.β

Overview
A castle and house you explore at your own pace, picking your way across the grounds to the tower and poking about rooms laid out with period furniture and clothing kids are free to try on. It stays calm and uncrowded in the heat of a late afternoon, and half-term brings self-led trails to follow. Pram access makes the wander manageable with little ones in tow.
