Goodrich Castle
Surprisingly good castle in a beautiful location. Plenty of rooms and passages to explore, and a refreshing absence of health and safety in parts. There's a nice little cafe/shop. The only downside, losing it a star, is the cost. £14 for an adult, and another £3 to park. The cafe was expensive too. Of course, admission and parking is free for English Heritage members, but for casual visitors it's pricey

A brilliant place to visit. Pleasant and friendly staff, who were happy to share their knowledge and help you to get a better idea of how the castle functioned. Relatively easy to move around. I even managed to get to the top floor, after finding a second stairway to the ramparts. The guide book is well worth the extra £4.50 and the audio guide was really informative. As it was a school holiday, there were plenty of games and activities for the children and much older children to enjoy too.

Very impressive, well-preserved Castle. Very helpful staff who allowed us close access for disabled very close to the Castle entrance.You must bear in mind that this is a castle, however, and not at all suited for disabled access. There are steps literally everywhere as is to be expected. I managed to get round it fairly well on a pair of crutches, but wheelchair users or scooter users need not bother.There's a great cafe near the car park and a good gift shop but this houses the only toilets, so parents with small children or others with a fear of being away from the loo for a couple of hours may need to be aware.On the whole, well worth a visit with limitations

Great castle! Dog friendly. Lots of information points. Beautiful views around. Clean toilets nearby. Nice looking cafe but we haven't tried the food.I highly recommend visiting. Reserve at least 1h but could easily spend much longer.

An interesting and well preserved castle guarding the River Wye, lots of features to explore including the Portcullis chamber located in the Gatehouse, a visit to the dungeon and if you're fit and nimble don't miss out on the climb (about 50 steps) up the narrow and steep stairway to the top of the Keep (great views of the castle and countryside).Also, check out the Civil War cannon Roaring Meg" in the courtyard and enjoy a walk around the dry moat. Good visitor centre

Very impressive castle ruins on top of the hill. Lots of amenities and nice shop. The ruins are around 5 minute walk from the car park. Lots of towers and scenic points to explore.

Took the family there in half term. The kids loved it climbing up the steep stairways in the tower to the roof. And the view was amazing. You could see the river Wye on one side and woodland and open Fields for miles. They were staff dressed up and told stories and played a game. My children already want to go back for another visit.

Picturesque medieval castle surrounded by beautiful countryside. There is lots to explore with access to the towers, ramparts, moat and dungeon. Staff are excellent and happy to talk about the history of the castle. We went during a medieval weekend and there were big crowds to watch the battles. Toilets, shop and cafe are all by the car park and there is a 5 minute walk to the castle. Parking £3.

Very enjoyable visit. It got quite busy around midday so visited at closing hours almost. Castle Staff is very kind and welcoming. There is pleasant cafe near the parking which serves good coffee.
