    About

    This site is open for you to enjoy but there are some access restrictions in place as a precautionary measure. There is currently no visitor access to the Guard House, South Entrance and De Vaux range. 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). Closed for lunch 12.30pm to 1.30pm. We recommend booking online in advance to guarantee entry. Tease out the hints of a long and eventful history and in these well-preserved ruins. Cross the deep moat guarded by high walls and an imposing tower, glancing up at the "murder hole" above your head. Look for the vaulted dome inside the 1249 tower, the grim prison and pit and the 1550s "beehive" dovecote.
