Castle Rising
English heritage gem. Great piece of history and well worth a visit if in Norfolk. Cafe is also a few minutes away but was very busy when we visited so long waits.

Very impressive ruined castle with equally impressive earthworks works surrounding the castle. The castle has access to some floors and walkways. Small shop on site and toilets on the car park. The village church is a small walk away and worth a visit.

Stopped off here on our way back from holiday, lovely castle. Well maintained grounds, plenty of parking and easy access to toilets. Great views from the castle.

Castle Rising
One of the most famous 12th Century castles in England with the stone keep being amongst the finest surviving examples of its kind in the country. The castle has a varied history and it hosts a number of exciting events throughout the year including stunning displays of Medieval swordsmanship and archery. An amazing place to visit with several information boards throughout the site.

I would have given 5 stars but unfortunately there was a giant wedding tent at one side of the castle, a giant roaring generator under a beautiful old tree and giant portable outhouse for the wedding at the other side of the castle. I understand the need for revenue but surely there was a better place for the set up, or even just keep it to one side to allow pics from the other. Other than my previous rant the castle.was beautiful and really well preserved. I would recommend!

I really appreciate how they preserve such an ancient building. Amazing.... loved the place. Greenery around the castle is so soothing to eyes. No wheelchair accessibility as well as baby strollers inside the castle as it has stairs . £6 pounds per each adult

We stumbled across this historic castle whilst on holiday. Lovely ruins and parts that you can still go in and look around. Beautiful grounds, take a picnic if it's nice weather!Set in a lovely little village, well worth a look around. Tea shop just down the track, past the castle is amazing too. The day after we went they had a historic reenactment, which I'm led to believe is one of many events in the castle grounds during the year.Free large carpark. Entry fee £6 adults. English heritage members free. Concessions I think were £5.50. Our toddler was free.

Castle Rising was somewhere we tagged on to our day trip as a good place to stop for a picnic. It was much more than we expected. It was a lovely place for a picnic but also a wonderful medieval walk. We had a good explore of the grounds and the castle interior. This is definitely worth a visit. We would probably go without the picnic next time as there is a beautiful looking tearoom across the road.

The substantial earthworks around the keep,are very impressive,and walk around the top gives good views of the keep and the surrounding landscape.The keep its self has many different periods of construction and there are good information boards pointing out various aspects and features. A good way to spend a couple of hours, especially if the weather is fine.Good dog friendly refreshment venus available in the village.The actual village is not so dog friendly as we couldn't find a poo bin anywhere.

Castle Rising is set in a lovely village. Staying at the Caravan and Motorhome Club site, we walked around 30 minutes to the village. We enjoyed tea and cake at the Castle Rising tea room on School Road. Staff were brilliant, and the cake was excellent. We then walked across the road to the castle. Having paid the £5 fee per person, we wandered around the grounds and inside the castle. The castle is in remarkable condition inside and out and well worth a visit.
