Parking
The level tarmac car park is next to the visitor centre. It has a dropped kerb and no accessible spaces are marked.
Approach to site
There is a steep, tarmac path with anti-slip surface for 120m, followed by 30m of level gravel path to the castle.
Visitor centre
The visitor centre has step free access.
Monument
Grassy banks surround the castle.
Inside, much of the castle can be seen from the ground floor, which is level with stone slabs.
The first floor is reached via a steep, L-shaped stone staircase of 15 steps with no handrail.
The second floor is reached via a modern, open-tread, metal spiral staircase of 38 steps with a handrail.
The castle interior can be a little dark on a dull day, although the inner stairs, lower hall and prison pit have electric lights.
