Restored castle in scenic location but limited access
Portencross Castle的点评
点评：The castle, dating back to the 12 century, is located on the rocks by the coast and is therefore quite picturesque to view externally even on days when it is not open to the public. Best to check online however when we visited in September 2024 it had only been open frequently during August and then at weekends during September. Sadly we were there midweek.
We were staying nearby at Seamill House Hotel and it is feasible to walk from there along the Ayrshire Coastal Path to Portencross. We took the easy option and drove the short distance in less than 10 minutes along a well surfaced single track road to the sizeable free car park very close to the castle.
Major restoration work was carried out in 2009 to save the castle from ruin and it is The Friends of Portencross who continue to take responsibility for its upkeep and on a voluntary basis for allowing access to the interior. It is apparently worth getting inside if you can as the visit includes a view from the roof and plenty of interpretation boards to provide information about the property.
We enjoyed having a look around the site which had an old cannon barrel lying on the ground nearby and plenty of rocks to clamber over for views of the tower from different angles. Although it was a day when the wind was bracing we still managed a walk along the track towards Hunterston, passing a little sheltered spot for boats and the Portencross Pier. The Ayrshire Coastal Path (details online) continues along that route.

翻译：这座城堡的历史可以追溯到12世纪，坐落在海岸边的岩石上，即使在不对外开放的日子里，从外部欣赏也风景如画。不过，最好还是上网查一下，因为我们在2024年9月去的时候，城堡只在8月份经常开放，9月份则在周末开放。可惜我们是在工作日去的。
我们住在附近的Seamill House酒店，从那里沿着艾尔郡海岸小径步行到Portencross是可行的。我们选择了比较简单的方案，沿着一条路面良好的单行道，不到10分钟就开到了城堡附近一个很大的免费停车场。
2009年，城堡进行了大规模的修复工程，使它免于被毁。Portencross之友组织继续负责城堡的维护，并自愿允许人们进入城堡内部参观。如果条件允许，进去参观是值得的，因为参观内容包括屋顶景观和大量的解说牌，提供有关城堡的信息。
我们很享受在遗址周围巡视的乐趣，附近地上躺着一个古老的炮筒，还有许多岩石可以攀爬，从不同角度欣赏塔楼。虽然那天风很大，但我们还是沿着小路向亨特斯顿走去，途中经过一处可以停船的小路和波特克罗斯码头。艾尔郡海岸步道（详情请见网上）沿着这条路线继续前行。
