Stopped here while on northern coast, but castle was closed for the day. You could see from the parking lot, and some good photo shots, but no entrance. Disappointed.

It was a castle right off the cliffs with wonderful views of the coastline. The best part was the views of the arch. There were still lots of walls and spaces to walk through. You could imagine what it looked like, but it wasn't like walking through many of the castles in France. It was fun anyway. Take a look if you are in the area!

Loved this place. It wasn't originally just an extra stop on my drive to check out but this actually ended up being one of my favorites. Such great views and I went on such a sunny day. The pictures came out beautifully

It would have been better if you could have a cup of tea or coffee but there are no facilities. Also be aware of leaving the car park as it is a very dangerous exit onto the main road. Otherwise it is an interesting place to visit and the views are great.

Definitely has been one of my favorite castles. Whether you want to geek out in history, or like me in GOT. This place is amazing. Walking thru it makes you wonder how they lived before, and also what shots were used on GOT. The staff is extremely friendly. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it was lovely, not crowded at all. And THE VIEWS are 10 out of 10 !!!

We enjoyed our visit to this castle. Of course, the Game of Thrones association adds an extra interest if you're a fan, but the overall history is interesting. It was a beautiful location too.
