The castle itself tells the history of a building that transformed from a redcoat garrison to a high society retreat with Royal connections. A digital guide on Bloomberg Connects offers a room-by-room tour and audio commentary about the castle and its collection. The grounds are open year-round; the castle opens seasonally from April. The castle has WiFi and toilets.
