Despite living in the area it's taken us 6 years to get round to visiting the castle.<br>Well worth a half day visit though to enjoy the splendid gardens and tea room. Plenty of flower and shrub borders closer to the castle, with woodlands at the rear, including an orchid. Interesting sculptures (some for sale) are dotted about the estate.<br>Students are in attendance more or less all year round and they were very well behaved when we were there.<br>The Castle is currently being used as classrooms for students and as such you can't look inside. Although an extremely knowledgeable campus security guard told us tat there is a plan to organise internal tours at a later date. Very interesting to hear him talk about the history of the place and how Herstmonceux got its name.<br>Plenty of seating areas to sit down and take in the peacefulness. The back of the Folly house is particularly worth a visit.<br>Lucky enough to see a demonstration from a bird of pray chap who regularly uses the castle for displays.

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!

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.

Not brilliantly wheelchair friendly but still made it around the gardens. Castle not always open for viewing inside which is a shamenice courtyard for teas and snacks beautiful moat and lovely facade
