Hiking
The castle was built on the site of an older hill fort settlement which dates to around 250BCE.
The hill is 268m high and offers great views in all directions.
You can walk up and back from the car park in the southeast but why not make a longer loop following the path over the hill and then around the obvious loop to the north, it's about 5km.
