Hello, are you able to cross the bridge to get closer to the castle without needing to pay to enter the castle? In other words, do you pay to enter the structure or to enter the property?
A:
Crossing the bridge to access the island costs 3£. Dogs allowed as well. To go inside the castle it will cost more. We paid the 3£ and thought it was well worth it.
