A great place to visit and Greenwich membership. Lots to explore, half a day to full day visit easily. Parking only available for disabled visitors but plenty of parking in the next street. Kids activities in the armoury and around the grounds. Good if it rains as lots inside.

Went on a Tuesday during August. They had a lovely trail going on for the sound ones to do. Went with our dog; allowed all over the castle and in the military museum

Was very nice, very informative and great for history buffs. I know it's an old building so u can't have everything but not very mobility friendly. I personally didn't think it was value for money.

Castle build on Roman foundation. If you are with small kids there are activities along the castle and walls where kids can be entertained where they get a little badge and certificate in the end. Parking is in the side of the castle and you need to pay for parking separately.

Great place to visit with friendly staff. The museum here has a very good collection of british arms throughout History. Beautiful view from atop the keep wall. Could do with more plaques about the place to explain the fonctions of various rooms in the keep or having props inside. Kinda feels like a collection of empty rooms

Great castle to spend 2 or 3 hours wandering around. Some good expeditions to look at. Very informative and great views from the walls
