Kelburn Castle & Estate

Kelburn Estate is open to the public daily. Explore our unique Secret Forest - a fairy tale maze that twists through our woodland. Discover a Giant’s Castle, a crocodile swamp, a witch’s cottage, and much more! Conquer the Wild Wild West in our Saloon, complete with watch tower and jail. Test your agility and balance with tunnels, bridges and swings on our Adventure Course. The estate's 13th century Castle had an imaginative makeover in 2007, and has since been named as one of the world’s top 10 examples of street art. Situated in a woodland glen, Kelburn has several walks which showcase the stunning natural environment. FAQs: Dogs are welcome at Kelburn. We just ask that they are kept on a lead at all times, to keep our animals and the wildlife safe. Unfortunately the terrain is not suitable for wheelchairs or scooters. The estate features some narrow and winding paths which are not suitable for prams. You may leave your pram with staff on your arrival.

We went to the castle on a whim today and I am SO glad we went - first we arrived at the car park which cost us £5. We went over to the information centre and were greeted by a really friendly staff member who gave us advice on which trail to go on - we decided the history trail! The estate is on such beautiful grounds - particularly the waterfall. I would highly recommend - staff were all friendly and couldn’t help enough! We all went as adults and enjoyed it and the kids would too!
