点评:My wife and I visited this beautiful castle on our last trip to the island in February 2025, so when we returned this year with four of our friends it was such an easy decision to revisit, and we just knew we would enjoy it so much more this time as last year it was wet and windy, whereas the day we chose to visit this year was a beautiful blue sky day with the sun providing some warmth. We are all English Heritage members so parking and access to the castle was free for us. The castle wasn’t busy at all which made the visit even more enjoyable, and we could take our time wandering around with barely a soul in sight. We visited all of the inside exhibits first, including the well laid out museum, then we watched Juno the donkey operating the water wheel which really is a sight to see (the donkeys that the castle owns are very well looked after, and Juno enjoys the very limited time he has to walk in the wheel, so absolutely not a hint of animal cruelty), then it was a walk around the walls and we finished of the day with tea and cakes in the café. We just had a thoroughly enjoyable few hours visiting this site and would recommend it as one of the best English Heritage sites.
翻译:我和妻子上次去岛上是在2025年2月,当时我们参观了这座美丽的城堡。所以今年我们带着四个朋友再次来到这里,自然而然地就决定重游此地。我们知道这次一定会比去年更加尽兴,因为去年来的时候又湿又刮风,而今年我们选择的参观日阳光明媚,万里无云。我们都是英国遗产协会的会员,所以停车和参观城堡都是免费的。城堡里人不多,这让我们的参观更加惬意,我们可以悠闲地漫步其中,几乎看不到其他人。我们先参观了所有室内展品,包括布局精美的博物馆,然后观看了驴子朱诺拉动水车,这真是一道独特的风景(城堡里的驴子都得到了很好的照顾,朱诺也很享受它在水车里有限的行走时间,所以绝对没有虐待动物的迹象)。之后,我们沿着城墙漫步,最后在咖啡馆享用了茶和蛋糕,结束了这一天的行程。我们刚刚在这里度过了非常愉快的几个小时,强烈推荐这里,它是最好的英国遗产景点之一。
