The grounds are a lovely way to spend some time a short distance from the town centre.
Hertford is an attractive little place with pieces of history dotted around.
The castle itself was a little uncastlelike, perhaps I was a little disappointed that it was not quite a Windsor Castle nor the fact it was open......i believe it is only open for corporate functions.
A pity....but the grounds are lovely.

Great place for the family to have a picnic and visit the castle. There is plenty of grass to picnic by the river.therd is also a park with swings etc.

Haven't been here for years so went for a family stroll. Very clean and tidy with information signs on the history. Even though there's not much 'castle' to see the grounds are well kept. Parking is not too bad with a couple of local 'pay and displays' near by.

Hertford is a lovely old town. Being the county town, it has always been quite important but its low population (less than 30,000) and historic centre have made it a good place to explore on a summer's day. The Castle itself has been largely demolished, though the Gatehouse is Grade I listed. It is only open at particular times of year (check the website for the next dates), and can be hired for events. The grounds, however, are open all year round, and well worth a stroll.
Information/interpretation boards are installed at key places, but confusingly use different numbering systems on the same board!
Without getting inside, you can only really allocate less than an hour to the Castle grounds, but if you go when it is open, then more time would be needed. Unfortunately our visit coincided with a closed day, so we spent the rest of our time looking around the historic town centre. Very worthwhile!

The remains of the castle is the old gatehouse, which is in use as a venue. The grounds are well kept with clever landscaping and little bridges.
It would take about 30 minutes to do a slow tourist paced amble around the circular walk.

I walk through with the dog regularly. There are park benches by the river or overlooking a green either at the front or rear of the "Castle" which is actually the Elizabethan gatehouse.

Visited the site for the 'rock the castle' event. What a fantastic range of great bands and so well organised. Brilliant.
