Nice castle location, not much to see. Entrance difficult to find, narrow gate just down from the bus stop on the main road, steep steps to climb but not too many. Worth a stop by and good view when sun rising.
It was much smaller site than expected. No visible sign on the road and when I got there, only small sign and a gate that seemed locked- it wasn't but it only took me 10 minutes to see it all. Interesting but if you travel from far, definitely plan to see another place nearby. Still, it was quaint space for nature-lovers.
You can just look the land, castle no more exist.Only picture available.
Bring your imagination they say...nnWell let's hope you have a great one as this is not a castle, just a sad collection of stones marking out the former outline & well.nnSo climb 54 steps to see a flat grassy area, with limited views & little information.nnFor a better old building try St Alkmunds Church around a mile away or the White Hart pub.
Probably the most underwhelming castle remains ever. Only the restored foundations can be seen. Fortunately there is an information board to help. It was built about 1071 and was once of the largest castles in England. However, due to William de Ferrers support for a rebellion against King Henry II the castle was destroyed in 1173. It was rebuilt but then finally razed to the ground in 1269 after another failed rebellion, this time against Henry III. Much of the stone was used in other buildings locally and the site became overgrown before being rediscovered in 1885, with the foundations marked out and preserved and donated to the National Trust in 1899. Don't expect to see much but it has an interesting history.
