Essential visit to the castle. Make a morning of it then pop into The Castle Inn for lunch before a ride on the steam train in the afternoon.

This is a lovely wood to walk and play in. Perfect for a wander and taking dogs too. In winter, some paths can get extra muddy though so best to take wellies.
