A National Trust property. Built by Ralph, the Cromwell who was Treasurer to Henry VI. Only the keep tower is left standing, but thanks to some sympathetic restoration in the early 20th century this is both impressive... and far from a ruin.

Visited in may and was a lovely sunny day the castle is very interesting and be warned theres lots of steps to climb on one floor there is dressing up clothes for the kids and a lady showing you how to spin wool kids can have a go for £1and get a certificate at the end

Just the thing for a damp afternoon. Interesting look at the history of this castle (although not a 'defensible fortification' more decorative.

A lovely day out for young and old. Take a picnic and be prepared to enjoy the scenery. The views from the roof are worth the many stairs.

A wonderful place to visit and walk around, took a visiting American friend there and she was thrilled.

we stopped there on a sunny April's day. had a nice walk, gone up the castle and enjoyed looking around, could see for miles away from the top of the castle. trees and flowers were blooming, many people had picnic on that day. was superb!

Fantastic views from the top of this amazing castle. Set in lovely grounds. If you are lucky you might experience a fly past from the local air base when you are top of the castle like we did!

Restored in the early 20th century this castle has an interesting and varied history. There are a lot of steps to the top but if you stop at every level to take in the background and usage of each of the floors you will eventually be rewarded with the panoramic view of the surrounding countryside from the roof

A lovely picnic in the grounds and a great visit to the castle made for a lovely afternoon out. I recommend you get tea and cake in the church next door - nice and cheap.
