Visiting The Castle

West front of tower house

The Castle is currently closed to the public due to the on going conservation and preservation works but it is expected that when the work is completed in 2009 that it will be re-opened for visitors. Meanwhile everyone is welcome to come and look at the Castle from the new access road that has been made to it and there are interpretation panels there. It is a fairly level walk of about half a mile from the car park near Noss Head but good walking shoes are recommended.

The land through which the track passes is specially farmed for its special habitat which has enabled it to be an important breeding area for ground nesting birds and other species so please keep dogs on the lead.
