Details

Accessibility:

Wheelchair users are restricted to the visitors centre because the concrete path up to the castle is very steep with many steps, all dogs on leads welcome. On-street parking available near visitors centre.

The foundations of this castle are believed to have been laid in the 13th century, although it has changed hands so many times through out history that it is hard to date the castle as a whole, its best feature is the double towers on the gatehouse that are well preserved.
