Despite the castle's rugged appearance, its walls conceal a stunning Renaissance residence of the 1630s. See bluebells in spring, dragonflies and wildflowers in summer and barnacle geese in winter.

Price starts from £7.50 for Adults(6-64yrs) and £4.50 for Children(7-15yrs) and £15.00 for Family of three. If you are looking for Best place for day out with kids and families then this is the perfect destination offering fun, adventure, and unforgettable memories for everyone.
