There are extensive grounds with fantastic sea views, providing a wonderful location for wildlife and bird watchers. Limited resting points. No cycle paths. Informal grassed areas around the ruins. Lots of running around space.
Baby changing facilities are available in the toilets next to the Visitor Centre and shop.
A childrens' menu is available.
The rough terrain and number of steps mean that buggies and pushchairs cannot be used in some areas of the site. There is space available for pushchairs and buggies next to the Visitor Centre, and you are welcome to leave these here at your own risk.
We have a limited number of baby carriers for hire for use around the castle. These are booked on a first come, first serve basis. Please contact the site on 01840 770328.
