点评:We were holidaying in the area and decided to visit. It looked good from a distance but...First annoyance was having to pay £4 to park as we are not English Heritage members. The entrance fee was excessive - £12-£13 each, so nearly £30 in total for the visit. We were not advised to look around the museum first, which would have been a good idea as there is zero information at the castle itself. We were told the roundhouse was shut as there was no guide and the caves fenced off...sounded great. After climbing the hill and passing the unimpressive curtain wall, we arrived at one of the most disappointing and unimpressive small remains of a castle ever seen. There was VERY little to see and no information boards or signs whatsoever or any guide at the top. Admittedly the 360 degree views are very impressive, but nothing else is. We didn't bother going to the closed roundhouse. Back at the ticket office after enquiring about the lack of signage we were advised that they are not allowed to put signs in the ground as it would damage the 'archaeology'. The museum and displays are actually pretty good, but it would have been helpful to have seen those first.
For what there is to see, the car parking and entrance fee are an unmitigated rip-off. There are many hilltop castles you can visit that are WAY more intact with lots of information and are FREE, such as Montgomery and Dolforwyn to name but two. Really wish we hadn't bothered going and saved £30.
翻译:我们在附近度假,决定去看看。从远处看还不错,但是……首先令人恼火的是,因为我们不是英国遗产协会的会员,停车费竟然要4英镑。门票也贵得离谱——每人12-13英镑,一共花了将近30英镑。我们事先没有被告知要先去博物馆看看,这其实是个好主意,因为城堡里根本没有任何信息。我们被告知圆形屋因为没有导游而关闭,洞穴也被围起来了……听起来真棒。爬上山坡,穿过那段毫不起眼的城墙后,我们来到了有史以来最令人失望、最不起眼的城堡遗址之一。这里几乎没什么可看的,没有任何信息牌、指示牌,山顶上也没有任何导游。诚然,360度全景确实很壮观,但除此之外就没什么可看的了。我们懒得去参观关闭的圆形屋。回到售票处询问为何没有指示牌后,我们被告知他们不允许在地面上放置指示牌,因为这会破坏“考古遗址”。博物馆和展品其实还不错,但如果能先参观这些就更好了。
就可看的东西而言,停车费和门票简直是敲诈。有很多山顶城堡保存得更完好,信息丰富,而且免费参观,比如蒙哥马利城堡和多尔福温城堡等等。真后悔来了,省了30英镑。
