(No collecting possible)

Many of the castle’s building blocks are composed of crinoidal limestone. Some of these have been weathered slowly and delicately over hundreds of years to bring their fossils into high relief, showing immaculate detail.

(Suitable for Children)

This is a tourist attraction and as such caters for all members of the family. While the fossil hunters are staring at rocks in the walls the rest of the party can enjoy an interesting and educational day out.

The castle is within the town centre with plenty of pay and display parking to be found near by. Most of the staircases within the various parts of the building are steep and young children should be supervised when climbing and descending these. The castle is open all year round, 7 days a week. Opening times vary; please see the castle’s web site for details. Admission prices are £3.50 for adults and £2.50 for concessions.
