A
January
visit
may
seem
like
an
odd
time
to
visit
a
drafty
old
castle,
but
they
do
a
50%
off
tickets
at
this
time
of
year
and
less
people!
In
the
summer
it's
so
busy
you
barely
have
space
and
time
to
see
all
the
rooms,
while
we
were
able
to
meander,
listen
to
the
free
audio
guide
and
enjoy
every
aspect
of
the
indoors.
Really
appreciated
that
the
audio
had
a
"family"
tour
that
was
more
engaging
for
the
7
year
old,
but
an
older
more
expert
one
for
adults.
Multiple
languages
were
also
available.
Of
course,
the
rooms
themselves
are
very
bare
-
you'll
get
a
lot
of
the
history,
but
you
don't
get
a
real
feel
for
what
it
would
have
looked
like
at
different
times
through
it's
history,
the
effects
rely
a
lot
on
videos
cast
onto
blank
walls.
Still,
it
makes
for
a
fairly
stress
free
visit
with
children,
as
they
can
easily
walk
around
without
too
much
fear
of
touching
or
tripping
over
priceless
artifacts.
The
fact
that
under
5s
are
free
is
appreciated
as
there's
nothing
much
here
for
them
other
than
run
from
room
to
room.
Its
worth
leaving
the
buggy
in
the
buggy
park
and
walking
to
the
tudor
apartments
if
your
child
can
walk.
The
family
room
has
some
toys
if
you
want
to
entertain
smaller
ones,
but
its
pretty
drab
and
depressing
in
comparison
with
the
rest
of
the
castle.
The
downside
to
a
winter
visit
is
that
you
don't
get
the
full
impact
of
the
incredible
gardens
which
are
usually
in
full
bloom
during
the
summer
and
great
for
a
picnic.
The
children's
play
area
is
also
closed.
All
in
all,
absolutely
fantastic
for
any
fans
of
English
History.
