Lulworth Castle

Visited Lulworth Castle on a bright sunny day and it couldn't have been more magical. The grounds were absolutely stunning, bathed in sunshine, and the views from the top of the castle were breathtaking. What truly stood out, though, was the excellent service throughout our visit. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the history of the place. They answered all our questions with enthusiasm and made us feel incredibly welcome from start to finish. The castle itself is beautifully maintained, and the surrounding parkland is ideal for a relaxing stroll or a picnic. Highly recommended for a peaceful and memorable day out!

Wonderful day out at Lulworth castle , the grounds and castle were spectacular with fantastic views from top of the tower, the museum was informative. Wonderful staff in the kitchen and reception. Delicious scone so 5 stars. Thank you

Nice place to spend a few hours. The castle and grounds are beautifully presented. The tower has fantastic views and isn’t too difficult to climb with a modern staircase. Parking is £3 or included if you have a Lulworth permit (also allows parking Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door). Entry to the castle building is free with English Heritage or a very reasonable £9. You don’t need to pay to access the grounds.

I really enjoyed my visit to Lulworth Castle. Learning about the history. The information provided was of a high standard and very well laid out so you can navigate around. It's such a shame that it hasn't been restored since the fire. However, you really get a sense of history the way it is. Peacocks were lovely, even without displaying their feathers. We enjoyed the surrounding areas, too. An acceptable price and car parking is good too.

From the outside it looks fabulous and the parkland around it is lovely too. Sadly the inside was gutted by fire in 1929 . The building is secure but bare inside, floorboards have been reinstalled and the roof and windows sealed against the weather. Photos inside show what it was like before the fire. A temporary metal staircase takes you to the roof to see the views .Fairly inexpensive to visit and the history very interesting to read on storyboards inside. Also a knowledgeable lady at admission to talk to. Toilets and refreshments available on site.

Friday on a sunny day is perfect for enjoying the Castle grounds and beyond. We were almost on our own. Fabulous views and an impressive looking Castle. Of course almost no one there because the Castle is not open.

The castle outside is very well kept but there is not much left inside due to the fire. We visited the two churches on the ground and saw the two peacocks.

Worth a visit to see this castle which is brilliant and also the grounds surrounding the castle are magnificent. Royal Heritage foundation have done a superb job keeping both castle and grounds in great condition
