Carisbrooke Castle

This castle is well worth the steep hill I took to visit it! Set in peaceful surroundings there are many places to explore. There are ruins you can climb up with hand rails and the views are worth the climb. Walking around the top level is breathtaking and then getting back down is easy if you go slowly! Inside the main castle there are lots of rooms to explore with guided maps and explanations into what rooms they once were. They do a guided ghost tour which is interesting and light hearted. There is also a museum in the grounds. Very good day out.

Amazing castle,museum & history. Came at half term. Lots of activity for children. Great views. Helpful, friendly staff & volunteers. Well worth a visit. Arrive just before opening time.

A beautiful castle looked after by English Heritage. A traditional castle with ramparts to explore, in places a good head for heights needed. A nice cafe to stop and pause before exploring again. Well stocked shop.

A great place to visit for all the family. It is run by British Heritage. It is dog friendly. The grounds are very well maintained. There is a cafe with hot/cold beverages. And plenty of sitting room. Lots of staff who are very helpful and knowledgeable. My advice would be to wear good footwear as there are plenty of stone stairs to climb. Some are very steep.

What a surprise to find this castle so we'll kept and up together. Was a great day out they had a performance on and was worth th watch. Has great history and is worth a visit.

A well preserved castle with a varied history. It has a very interesting museum within the grounds. Walking the walls gives great views of the surrounding areas. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. Activities for young people. Nice tea room and of course the Carisbrooke donkeys. Demonstrations in the well house are worth attending. Allow the whole day for your visit.

A great day out for us. I would say it's great for all age groups. Some of the steps are a bit steep. Staff were brilliant, their chats were very interesting. By the way, the ice creams near the donkey centre are amazing.

Great views. Would not recommend on a rainy day as most is open to the elements. Knowledgeable staff, lovely reasonably priced cafe. Good for children
