The castle contains numerous treasures from multiple eras, ranging from ancient Roman times to the present. Numerous award-winning gardens are settled among the ancient ruins, their meticulous restoration and upkeep complementing the castle.

Really nice grounds with lots of well kept gardens to see. Interspersed with animal sculptures which was great to keep our daughter entertained. Having been inside the house I probably wouldn’t bother going back inside, but would definitely visit again for the grounds. You can spend around 3hours here quite easily

We visited (with Grandparents + 3 & 6yr old lively boys) whilst the Elephant family were on display and thoroughly enjoyed the elephants and the grounds. The adventure playground was a huge hit. The only negative was the lack of benches/seating in shady areas and none in the playground.
