Free entry. Good parking. Kids get to run around. Plenty of nooks to look and windows to look through. Lovely POI, especially if you like castles or history. Only a few info boards dotted around.

What a beautiful, relaxing place to come and enjoy the surroundings. It would have been perfect other than the large group of inconsiderate people with multiple kids and 4 dogs who constantly shouted and let the dogs tear around chasing balls etc. The kids were feral too. They'd have been better off on a beach rather than shattering the peace for others. Still, it's a public place so everyone can go there. Maybe it's quieter when it's not school holidays. Still recommended though.

*beware! Viscous dog in the ruins* We were here visiting on our dogs first holiday away. She was walking nicely by our side, on her short heeling lead; the notice boards around request that all dogs must be kept on short leads. Moments after taking a photo with our little spaniel, this viscous dog charges for ours, and attempted several times to bite our dog. Whilst we did get our dog out of danger, we tore her raincoat, she hurt her throat from pulling to get away from the dog on the lead and she was rather shook up after whilst we carried her away from the area. I politely told the owner that if their dog is aggressive it should not be on a 20m/30m lead as it was, despite the notice signs, but she did not seem to be bothered; it seemed like a normal day to her. Whilst we were sat in the car making sure out little dog was okay, a couple came to us to check on our dog, and also told us they had a word with the owner as it is simply not okay, so thank you, whoever you are! We shortly saw the owner and dog leaving whilst we were sat in the car, later on a retractable lead. I have attached an image of the dog so those with dogs going there so you can keep an eye out. The owner walked through the car park so we think they might be a local, rather than a visitor.

A lovely find and a great little experience. There are a lot of interesting buildings here but not much in the way of explanation. Luckily we had already got the guide book from Carew castle.

We arrived late, expecting it to be closed but happy to find gate was open. We wandered around the ruins that gave us a wonderful sense of what it would have been like to live there.We were completely alone and it was so peaceful.
