Over
Korte feiten: The castle served as the stronghold of the Power family for over 300 years and features thick defensive walls up to 2 meters wide. Visitors can explore a well-preserved gatehouse, medieval kitchens, and a chapel with original stone carvings.
Hoogtepunten: Secret tunnels once linked the castle to nearby fishing villages for quick escapes during raids. The inner courtyard offers a vivid glimpse of medieval life with reconstructed furnishings and authentic period details.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes; uneven stone paths can be slippery when wet.
- Bring a camera for interior and cliffside views, especially at the courtyard.
- Avoid weekends if possible to skip the busiest times.
- Do not miss the small exhibition in the gatehouse for historical insights.
