Riding up there by bike was quite strenuous, but the view from the top was worth the effort. It was well worth it.

It's beautiful and well-maintained. The driveway to the west rear gate reminds me of the book "The Great Maulne."

Interesting castle ruin with a very good view. Ideal for a small picnic. The castle was built by Henry I, King of England from 1100 to 1135.

Very beautiful castle. The outside area is very interesting and a nice walk. Unfortunately I didn't see the inside of the castle. The bicycle parking area is behind the archway on the inside on the right.
