What visitors say
The ice cream from one of the vans got me diarrhoea. Don’t eat the machine ice cream since it’s probably not cleaned. I would recommend other ice cream like Flake 99 and others to not make you sick for the next day. Other than that, the park is nice. You can walk through a forest, take your child to the playground, and more You can take pictures!

Lovely castle and grounds. My partner hadn't been here before and I've not been since a small child. Was gutted we couldn't view the castle, sure hope the council pulls their finger out as the castle is stunning and grand. The grounds are stunning even more so in spring and summer months. Summer is amazing for picnics and days out. I took over 60 photos there's alot to upload but we viewed everything, the graveyard and church is stunning architecture too. There's a soapery, cafe, and giftshop and food stalls. Images from all over the grounds

Great architecture set in wonderful woodlands & manicured gardens. *Tip* Between 1000-1400 on weekends there is a van on the courtyard selling the best pastries/cakes & coffee.

Revisiting old haunts. This place is as beautiful as I remembered it. Stunning grounds, rhododendrons all flowering. Easy paths to walk along, exploring. Cafe in the castle courtyard great for a drink and a cake.
