Actually, a short walk on a narrow road will take you straight to the castle. It is a good castle with many spaces to explore, but this is all medieval, and we don't do medieval. Fortunately the castle has been plonked into an Iron age hill fort, in places there are still two well preserved banks and ditches, obviously they're defensive in any age. Couldn't see any sign of the entrance though, later castle building has done away with it.
