Our falconry displays are daily & included with entry so it's time to see the views that our birds of prey are lucky enough to see. For us, this means a stiff climb but the views are worth it! See you soon, whether you want to be on ground level or up with the birds! #Easter

Looking for #Easter trails & activities for the holidays? Then look no further. We can also add a good dose of castle, dungeon, gardens & maze, fresh air, views, homemade food, falconry displays & fun! And that's before you even win a chocolate egg. Open everyday until 5 April!

'What a fantastic Castle! So much to see, every room was so interesting. Lots of info, but not too much to get boring. The day we visited was bright & sunny, the view from the roof top was truly 360' & we could see for miles!' Thank you to our kind reviewer - see you next time!

We've had a flurry of #Curlew activity this week, with 10 of the 17 tagged birds now back on their breeding grounds in the Yorkshire Dales National Park and another on its way!
