    Lovely place to visit for Free. Great views over Shropshire. Information boards. Castle car park instructions vague, and up narrow streets, but its perfect parking for those who cant walk up a steep hill from the town.

    Visited in summer 2020, when I had my Shropshire vacation. We can park near the castle, but we have to find the narrow road lead up to the hill. Because I didn't find it, I parked in the village at the bottom of the hill and walked up, it wasn't the easiest. At the ruins there is no toilet or cafe, so please be prepared for this, however, there are plenty cafes, restaurant, tea room in the village. Nice history of ruins, easy to walk around, few information plate and 1 bench. Nice view and beauty spot, but not recommended to wheelchair users or baby buggies.

    Castle ruins with great views. There’s enough of the ruins left that you can get a feel for what it was like, while still keeping the magical castle ruins feel. I wish the signs had given a bit more detail on how the castle was built, but they did provide some interesting stories, including one about how a former owner gave the most outrageous and clearly untrue excuse for how he ‘accidentally’ sent a chunk of rock flying into the head of someone when he was putting on a cloak.

    I'm terrified of heights so I found everything about this a challenge! Once I was in the castle though it was beautiful and so peaceful too! If you are afraid of heights please be aware it's very steep roads to get upto the carpark. The path to the castle one side is a really high drop and their are a couple of bridges to get across to the castle too... you can see through the bridges and although not as high as other parts you are still quite high!

    Not a huge amount remaining of the castle itself, but the view - wow! Definitely worth a trip. Free entry and small free carpark - wheelchair friendly access from carpark to site.

    Extensive remains from a medieval castle that was built to protect the surrounding area for the English, lots of area for a good walk around and explore. Gives great views of the surrounding countryside. Small car park next to it and a 100 meter walk to the castle, it is accessed from a steep country lane.

    This is a very beautiful and amazingly scenic castle situated right next to the border to England. The history of this castle is amazing too. I highly recommend visiting this castle!

    The castle really work for imagination as ruins are massive and castle is located on the very top of the hill… Parking and access to castle is free :)

    Amazing Castle with a carpark next to it that means even people with mobility issues can take it in. Amazing place.
