Group visits
Dramatically sited atop a wooded hill, there has been a castle here since at least Norman times. The 15th-century gatehouse survives but the present building was remodelled in the late 19th century. It is also home to the National Collection of Strawberry Trees (Arbutus).
 
The property is situated on top of a hill, with steep incline. A visitor vehicle is available to take visitors to the castle entrance
