It does not take long to tour this English Heritage site as it is much smaller and more original than its brother Hurst Castle down the cost. However, its bite size is part of the attraction as you can easliy pop in here on the way to or from another New Forest attraction. To get to the castle you have to pass through entry barriers and pay for parking (after first free 20 mins) even if you are an E Heritage member. However, I was there for less than an hour and parking was £1, so not too bad. Great views from the roof make this a worthwhile visit even if you are not interested in the history. Not suitable if you have difficutly with steep stairs. Unusually, shop has a very limited selection.
