The interior of the castle is closed for conservation works. The visitor centre and grounds remain open and our site staff are still on hand to answer any questions. The epitome of the moated, medieval stronghold, Caerlaverock's great triangular defences guard the Solway shore. This site has had a turbulent past. In 1300, its 60 - strong garrison was defeated by Edward I's vast English army in siege. Despite the castle's rugged appearance, its walls conceal a stunning Renaissance residence of the 1630s. Today, visitors can enjoy a siege warfare exhibition, a children's play area and a trail through the woodland to the remains of an older castle. See bluebells in spring, dragonflies and wildflowers in summer and barnacle geese in winter. 1 Apr to 30 Sept: Daily, 9.30am to 5pm (last entry 4.30pm). 1 Oct to 31 Mar: Daily, 10am to 4pm (last entry 3.30pm).
