The steps are a little bit too steep, though, a little bit scary, but apart from that, we would recommend visiting here if you like castles. · via Google [Steve Standbridge](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115182922791660565204/reviews) ★★★★★ The focal point in Castletown, Rushen Castle is well worth a visit but be warned, there are a lot of narrow stairs and once you start it's a one way system, 3 floors up, across the top then 3 floors down (there is no room to pass on the stairs). There are various rooms to visit on each floor - some are empty, others have scenarios with dummy figures telling the history. It is one of the best preserved medieval castles in the British Isles. · via Google [Steve Dodsworth](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109567333251059907780/reviews) ★★★★★ Set in centre of Castletown free for national trust or £14 admission. A well preserved castle. With dungeon to right has you enter. Can walk around walls great view of town. The central tower area, operates on one way. Be sure when climbing steps to visit each floor exhibitions. The view from top is amazing of town and surrounding countryside. Then go down opposite side. Informative staff within the castle area. · via Google [Jordan Humphries](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116508174684285648909/reviews) ★★★★★ Great castle to visit, with views of Castletown from the top. Not crowded like many of the other castle I have visited. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x48638b8dd4155555:0x64ac36af37e839b!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Castle Rushen, Castle St, IM9 1LD [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=54.0738054%2C-4.6523145) **Category** Sightseeing & Attractions **Guest rating** 4.6 / 5 (1,439 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Indoor & outdoor **Good for children** Yes **Destination** Castletown [More attractions in Castletown](https://staycation.co.uk/castletown/attractions) ★ 4.6 (1,439 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.manxnationalheritage.im/attractions/castle-rushen/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01624 648000](tel:01624648000) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Castletown **Postcode** IM9 1LD **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9C6Q38FX+G3 [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x48638b8dd4155555:0x64ac36af37e839b!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x48638b8dd4155555:0x64ac36af37e839b!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x48638b8dd4155555:0x64ac36af37e839b!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Castletown Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
