Gardens looking great and I'm sure there are a few more trails in the grounds than I remember.

Spent Sunday evening at the Tatoo event at the Castle. It was absolutely fantastic. The organisation was on point no queuing to get in , well orchestrated car parking and lots of great viewing seating areas. The Bands sounded wonderful and with the back drop of the Castle - what an atmosphere. Well done Herstmonceux Castle and all its staff and volunteers.

Beautiful Elizabethan brick built castle with nice gardens. Access to inside the castle is limited to specific times/areas due to occupancy by the University of Canada.

Nice grounds. The castle itself isn't open to the public. I took a group of 19 there and we the did a 6 mile circular walk in the area after our initial one hour wander around the grounds. This was on a January weekend when the grounds are only open one weekend a month over the winter for a discounted £6 per person. The parking area adjacent to the castle wasn't really big enough for a group that size, with of course other visitors being there too, so some of us used the grass. No problem with that, but there were big delays getting on the site. The site was only taking card payments and not cash which we hadn't been made aware of. This resulted in one of our party, having waited half an hour beyond the 10am opening time to get in, turning round and going home. In all it took 40 minutes for the 19 of us to get through and assemble outside of the castle, despite all of us arriving before the 10am opening time or just after. The fee for visiting the site during the winter when the tea rooms etc are shut was probably about right. The grounds were very muddy which was to be expected. It was lovely seeing the peacocks and other wildlife. I had contacted the castle twice prior to the visit and one person had little knowledge of the access arrangements and the other was more aware of what was happening with the site over the winter. I think the castle needs to have better arrangements in place for group visits to get them in quicker, and more flexibility on access and payment arrangements. Hopefully in the summer months when visiting is in full swing things are a bit more organised. Very nice visit though and would go again. Also ideal for parking to access the surrounding area and buildings such as the nearby 14th century church.
