Beautiful place! We did get questioned about if we get the 10% off for being members in the shop where we haven't before so that threw me a bit (been members for over two years and never had this!!) but the lady in the cafe was very friendly and the sword fighting was very fun! The chap was brilliant who was very considerate to the children too!

Fun castle with great views of the countryside. Amazing history and a good audio tour. While there’s not much interior left it’s still and incredible castle for history and scale. Be sure to bring a jacket as you’ll be quite exposed in the walls.

This castle has been one of the highlights of my visits to Suffolk. Very welcoming knowledgeable staff. A great opportunity to explore this castle from the 1100s. Although all that remains are perimeter walls and towers you still get a real sense of how much of a stronghold fortress this would've been. Lot of information boards and an interactive audio experience this is great for children too. Highly recommended.

A great place to visit. It is like stepping back in time. Lots of historical facets around the site. Well worth getting a media player from the shop to take with you on your visit. Helps you to know all the important facts associated with the site. Plenty of places to sit and rest during your visit and the walk around the battlements is good. At the end visit the on site Cafe for refreshments.

Amazing castle to visit, very unusual with its chimneys and buildings inside the castle walls. The guides were friendly and helpful, the audio tour was fascinating and didn't cost extra. Framlingham is a gorgeous town to visit with lovely independent shops and cafes, I'd especially recommend the Dancing Goat Cafe.

Beautiful location..take a picnic and enjoy the surrounds if you get a chance. Plenty of parking. Steep stairs, but worth it for great views on tower walk..shame about the tat in the shop. We saw Monkjack deer on the footpaths surrounding the mere, keep an eye out on little ones for BIG cowpats on the paths.

The best part of this castle is the rooftop walkway it's quite high up, and the views are stunning. Beautiful ruin of a castle. There were activities for kids. I booked online and got 10 % off. Well worth a visit

English heritage venue. If you don't have membership cost for entry is around £10.50 per adult.This place was tucked in the pretty quaint town of Framlingham... Excellent itself for its wkd market in the centre and a short walk away from the Castle... Quirky shops and a handful of charity shops if you like a mooch.The castle itself won't take you all day but walk the perimeter wall and take in the sites from up high! Take the audio guide with you (free) and listen as again the location comes to life with its history.Highly recommend you visit this place. Seriously pretty. And there are plenty of grounds to walk around the perimeter - so if you have got a dog... It's excellent for dogs too.

The most impressive curtain wall on any castle I have ever seen. No wonder it has been laid under siege just once. If you are a fan of a good castle, don't miss this one. None of the original inner keep buildings survive. However, the 44 feet high wall can be walked almost all the way round. A circumnavigation of the dry moat is also a must. The tour guide was knowledgeable and open to questions. A good selection of cakes and refreshments available from the cafe in the old workhouse. A secondary local museum is also hidden here. Good access and not difficult for my blind wife. The audio tour has two options, and the kids' version kept my son laughing. A good 2 hr family adventure.

Great attraction for a walk about both inside or outside the castle.Historic features still intact, parking near by, with an open field for dogs and children to play.Entrance fees to certain areas...
