点评:One of the best tourist experiences I've had for many years. Last time I was in the area many years ago, the castle was still in ruins. Today, its been restored and staffed by outstanding volunteers who know with in-depth knowledge the castle's history and its restoration. Every one of them was cheerful, polite and happy to help with any questions.
You start with a short video and then are allowed to wander at leisure. We were there for 2 hours and enjoyed our experience immensely. Clean toilet facilities are available and there is a fabulous independently-run café next door that serves first class coffee and some expertly made cakes and pastries. No Costa or Starbucks here selling mass-produced rubbish.
After the castle, we walked down to the beach which was beautiful, barely 7-8 minutes walk down the cliff path. Spent an hour walking along the beach as far as Friars Cliff c. 1.5 miles return. You can see The Needles on the Isle of Wight.
In summary, a magnificent experience - castle, cafe and walk. The volunteers in the castle and those responsible over many years in the restoration project ought to be well proud of themselves and their achievements,
翻译:这是我多年来最棒的旅游体验之一。上次我来这里还是很多年前,城堡当时还是一片废墟。如今,它已被修复,并由一群杰出的志愿者负责维护,他们对城堡的历史和修复过程了如指掌。他们每个人都热情友好、彬彬有礼,乐于解答任何问题。
首先会观看一段简短的视频,之后就可以自由漫步了。我们在那里待了两个小时,非常享受这段时光。这里有干净的洗手间,旁边还有一家很棒的独立咖啡馆,供应一流的咖啡和一些制作精良的蛋糕和糕点。这里没有Costa或星巴克那种批量生产的垃圾食品。
参观完城堡后,我们步行前往美丽的海滩,沿着悬崖小路走下去只需七八分钟。我们在海滩上漫步了一个小时,一直走到弗莱尔斯悬崖(Friars Cliff),往返大约1.5英里。在那里可以看到怀特岛上的针岩(The Needles)。
总而言之,这是一次绝妙的体验——城堡、咖啡馆和漫步。城堡里的志愿者以及多年来负责修复项目的人员应该为自己和他们的成就感到非常自豪。
