Accessibility

Approach to site A small boat is used to ferry visitors to the Castle Island. Call 01871 810 313 for the sailing times. There are no steps on the mainland jetty but it is steeply sloped. The island jetty has eight stone steps up into the castle. Visitors will need to be confident stepping into and out of the boat. Visitor Centre The shop is within the castle, and so is accessed up the eight steps from the jetty, and then across an uneven courtyard. Monument There are eight steps into the castle courtyard. Once there are uneven steps into all the buildings, and most routes are surfaced with gravel. The tower and walkway are reached by two flights of stone and timber stairs. Inside the tower there is a set of steep timber steps to the first floor and stone steps to the second floor. The castle has several very low doors.
