Dramatically situated on top of a wooded hill, there has been a castle
there since Norman times. The 13th-century gatehouse survives, but the
present building was remodelled between 1868 and 1872 by Antony
Salvin; the fine oak staircase and plasterwork of the 17th-century
house that he adapted can still be seen.
