Situated on an island in the middle of the River Dee, this formidable castle is only reachable by boat.
Begin your journey to the castle at Kelton Mains farm and from there follow the picturesque 10-minute walk through fields and past woods until you arrive at the shore of the River Dee. Here you will find a small jetty and a brass bell with a rope pull. Ring the bell loudly - little adventurers love this bit - and the boatman will come across from the island to take you to the castle.
Due to the path and steep steps which lead to the boat unfortunately assess is unsuitable for visitors using a wheelchair. The castle has steep steps inside and out. Disabled parking is about 1 mile from the boat.
