点评:As you approach the castle it's breathtaking as it sits in a commanding position at the end of a short road.
There is a payable carpark but at 09.30am there was plenty of space on the approach road.
Entrance fee is £15.00 per adult which includes a falconry display but sadly on our visit we took our seats along with another dozen or so people and waited patiently ... time passed ... then in the distance a window opened and someone shouted and waved , we couldn't hear but guess it was to say the display was off as a further 10 mins later still nothing happened so we all walked off slightly disgruntled...
Anyhow , to the castle itself , it is part restored and part ruin ( although the ruins are substantial ) .
The preserved parts contain some superb rooms inc Mary Queen of Scotts bedroom.
There is plenty of signage throughout the castle which does bring the castle to life.
I won't say anymore as it is best you visit and experience this marvelous castle yourself.
One final comment, there is also a lovely cafe... the bakewell tart is unreal .. yum yum.
A few hours well spent.
No hesitation in recommending.
翻译:当你走近城堡时,你会被它令人惊叹的景色所震撼,因为它坐落在一条小路尽头的制高点。
这里有一个付费停车场,但上午9点30分,入口处的道路上已经有足够的空间了。
入场费为每位成人15英镑,包含观看猎鹰表演,但遗憾的是,我们参观时,和其他十几个人一起坐下来,耐心等待……时间流逝……然后远处的一扇窗户打开了,有人喊叫并挥手,我们听不见,但猜想是说表演结束了,因为又过了10分钟,仍然没有任何动静,所以我们都有些不满地走开了……
总之,就城堡本身而言,它一部分是修复的,一部分是废墟(尽管废墟很大)。
保存完好的部分包含一些精美的房间,包括苏格兰玛丽女王的卧室。
城堡各处都有很多标识,让城堡充满生机。
我就不多说了,最好还是亲自去参观体验一下这座奇妙的城堡。
最后说一句,这里还有一家很棒的咖啡馆……贝克韦尔蛋挞好吃得不得了……真是太好吃了。
几个小时的时光很充实。
毫不犹豫地推荐。
