We look forward to welcoming you to our Beach Cafe with its breathtaking views. We use local suppliers where possible, and support Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance products.
Books, medieval and Arthurian themed gifts and toys, jams and chutneys all stocked.
All parking in the village, 600 metres away, pay and display (not operated by English Heritage). Regretfully, there is no disabled parking on site (Land Rover service available - see above).
Due to the geography of the local area, access to the castle is via at least 100 steep steps. Surfaces in the castle include grass, gravel, cobbles and flagstones. Many of the surfaces are uneven and include changes of level.
The island element of the site is a natural Cornish headland which includes several cliffs. Parts of the castle can be viewed from Glebe Cliff; the National Trust has set aside an area beside the church for this purpose.
A Land Rover service (April - October) can take visually impaired and ambulant disabled people to the exhibition and shop (additional charge). No need to book, except for large groups - please contact the site in advance.
Access to the castle 'island' is difficult for disabled visitors (via over 100 steep steps).
Due to the hazardous nature of the site, it is recommended that blind and partially sighted visitors have assistance.
