URPoint Details
Entry free; dogs on leads only.
All that remains of the early 12th century castle are the Norman keep and Constable's house built c.1160.
The roof has disappeared, but the massive walls remain as does part of the old Norman staircase.
On the first floor there is a hall, still with its original windows and round chimney. Nearby are the remains of a medieval garderobe, and also a small thatched house with plasterwork front and low eaves where the courts were once held.
