Lovely little ruins but a bit of a nightmare to find. Google maps will try to take you down a private road. I would recommend parking at the gold course (next left after Google's recommendation) or parking at the garden centre. There is a small path to walk between the golf course. I have drawn (crudely) route on Google maps in my picture

Nice little ruin if you’re looking for a place to stop on your route. It takes about 10 minutes to walk up to the castle. We didn’t see anyone on our walk (besides from the golfers) so it was very peaceful/ not crowded at all.

Just some ruins and a couple of display boards. It’s quite overgrown and not maintained. Fun for a short bit of urban exploring and interesting piece of history but not that exciting for kids and wouldn’t spend more than 30mins here. Worth checking out if you’re in the area though!

Lovely little ruin, fun to explore and very picturesque. Perfect side trip to visiting Box Hill, Dorking, Guildford etc. Plans to eventually be developed further and for visitor centre etc so will hopefully become more visible and easier to access. At present, aim for the main entrance of the Golf Club (not this google map location) and stop before their gates. You can park just before the entrance and on the left side there is a gate and then a 10mins path up to the castle, flagged on each side by the golf course. See pics below for step by step.

An interesting relic from the past, as far back as 1448, that details what was once a grand castle but which, with the passage of time has withered away. It's fascinating to see these ruins that whisper echoes of yesterday and it makes you think what caused the castle to fall into disrepair in the first place. Apparently improvements are ongoing to keep the ruins properly maintained but it does make for a fascinating insight into a piece of British history.

Another castle to explore if you like history.Betchworth Castle, an ancient structure with remains dating back to 1448, was once part of the Deepdene estate, a lost landscape now restored and reconnected by the Deepdene Trail.Great walk through woods.We were walking from town, across the bridge with river Mole underneath and between golf fields.It was awesome sunny day and beautiful sun glares through crowns of the trees has set extra relaxing mood.

A lovely site but difficult to find: a small public foot path on the left hand side of the entrance to the neighbouring golf course. A short walk, not really buggy friendly though, with fantastic views and yummy wild brambles of you go at the right time of year. The kids loved it.

Atmospheric ruined castle in a wooded setting, forming part of the Deepdene estate.The building dates back to the medieval period, and saw use as a fortification and stately home before being ruined.There's a small amount of roadside parking just before the entrance to the golf course off the A25 - from here the castle is only a 5-10 minute walk away. The ruins are fenced off, but a path leads around the perimeter, and there are information boards to explain more about the castle's history.Worth a look if you're visiting the Surrey Hills or passing by on the A25.
