Gothic Revival castle sitting on the shores of Lake Windermere with turrets, towers and informal grounds
If you were thinking of using the Windermere Car Ferry during your visit, here are a few alternative options to help you plan your trip.
Boarding a regular lake cruise from Ambleside allows you to arrive at Wray Castle in style. A gentle walk or cycle here also make a perfect start to your visit. This unusual and exciting National Trust castle is a place for all the family to explore and enjoy.
We don't have any of the original castle contents, so it is more informal and child-friendly. Our Peter Rabbit Adventure is the perfect spot for creative play for our youngest visitors, while older children might like dressing-up or building their own castle. To find out more about this fascinating building, why not join one of our guided tours, which run for most of the year? Plus, there's loads to do outdoors.
Please note our car park is small and during the school holidays is often full by 11am. Avoid disappointment by arriving by boat, bike or on foot.

Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
