Good to know
National Trust members get in free, which may be simpler than a group booking.

Why we'd go

A proper moated castle with battlements and a portcullis – ruined walls to hide behind, rooms to explore, and space for picnics. Free activities and storytelling often run through the day.

Watch out for

The tower spiral staircases are tight and steep, with no room to pass on one of them – tricky for small children. Free for National Trust members.

Details last checked: 1 October 2026. Please check with the venue before you travel.
