moreFrom its construction in 1070 to its destruction after the Civil Wars, this once-fearsome fortress dominated Yorkshire and beyond, earning the nickname, "Key to the North". From battles and sieges, starvation and destruction to royal scandals and the cultivation of liquorice, you'll be surprised at what these walls have seen! Today, the castle is a place of family-friendly adventure, with wide open spaces to play and fascinating ruins to investigate. Stand in the remains of the bread ovens, and imagine a time when the castle held lavish banquets for some of England’s most famous kings and queens. Has your imagination been sparked? Then younger visitors can create their own adventures in our castle themed adventure playground. If all this exploring has made you hungry, the Castle Coffee shop is offering scrumptious cakes and drinks (Tuesday to Sunday). Entrance to the castle is free, we look forward to seeing you soon!less
