What to know

The site consists of ruins, notably the keep and remains of walls, rather than an inhabited castle.
Restoration work takes place every year, so some parts of the site may be closed or under scaffolding depending on the period.
An audio guide accessible via QR code is available to accompany a visit of the medieval site.
The site has been a listed historic monument since a 1986 order protecting the keep and the remains of the former castle.
The visit takes place outdoors on a ruined site, which implies potentially uneven ground.
