Built to show off. Lovely castle, very little known or advertised. Downside you cannot see interiors as its a college. Still worth to visit. Lovely Gardens, and architecture.

Really lovely walking tour around the gardens

Herstmonceux Castle is an amazing artifact from the Plantagenet period of English history. For a castle that has been witness to various fortunes over its lifetime it's remarkable the exterior is as untouched by time as it is. The gardens and surrounding land could benefit from some love and attention to return it to its former glory, the castle itself is a awe-inspiring experience. Knowing the interior has been gutted and more recently renovated since it's original construction in 1441, it's not especially disappointing visitors can't explore inside the walls. However, as a monument to a England's ancient history being able to walk through the grounds and around the castle are well worth the visit.

Beautiful castle and gorgeous grounds, always lovely to visit and the staff are lovely too. You can tell this castle is well cared for!<br>Visited for an event this time and despite it being a popular event with lots of visitors it didn't feel crowded as there is so much space and huge gardens to meander through and never feel rushed!

We were only able to do the gardens, but we really enjoyed a leisurely walk around. There were plenty of benches to sit and take in the peace and tranquility. We finished our visit off with lunch in the tea rooms. All the ladies very nice, nothing too much trouble.

Visited with my partner a few days ago and we both had a brilliant time! Beautiful grounds, an excellent little cafe, and a good gift shop.<br><br>The gardens were all amazing, full of all sorts of flowers with information written by most of them. Lots of wonderful statues around. Plenty of photo opportunities.<br><br>The cafe was lovely, the staff were friendly, and the food was amazing - especially the carrot cake with pistachio frosting (which was also vegan!)<br><br>The gift shop was great, filled with things made by local artists - jewellery, prints, jams, etc. The staff in there were so lovely too. Everyone we talked to was so friendly and helpful!<br><br>We went on a Wednesday and it wasn't too busy, however there were signs on some of the doors asking for quiet as there were exams in progress so we had to bear that in mind on our way round. Not sure if you're able to go inside the castle on weekends potentially, but even if not, still well worth the money just to walk around the gardens, especially if you enjoy taking photos! A very relaxed environment, would definitely recommend!

Characterful grand place with fascinating story as to how what was once the largest 14th century private house in England became to be part of a Canadian university.

Beautiful castle! Lovely grounds. Easy to find, ample parking, and accessible route to the castle too. It's privately owned so they only do tours on specific days, but the grounds are amazing. Little cafe, lovely kids play area, but the true beauty is walking the grounds. You can easily lose 2 hours here.

Nice area to walk

Great walk across the bridge into the Castle gardens and then onto the multiple rear gardens. Well maintained with beautiful flowers and shrubs. You can then walk through the woods to see the 300 year old Sweet Chestnut tree. Further around, the estate ground is a folley with gardens, then a lovely walk back around the lakes, and the moat. Fantastic day out. Would highly recommend.
