Stunning scenery which will take your breath away. Quite a drive up a winding and sometimes narrow road. It was 36c on the day we went so the walk from the car park to the castle was pretty tough. However a beautiful and historic location which is well worth a visit.

Beautifull castle, a bit of a tough ride and walk to get to but definetly worth it for the view. Do be careful on windy days!

Amazing views,reasonably priced. Good gift shop at ticket office. Bit of a steep path,not possible to access if you are in a wheelchair. Breathtaking castle,very dramatic landscape. Really worth visiting.
