Terrain: A varied walk across extensive estate grounds. Paths are a mix of mown grasslands, woodland trails, and managed tracks. The terrain includes slopes and undulations, particularly on longer routes like the ascent to Mount Malloch. Expect paths to be uneven in places, and potentially muddy after rain or in wetter seasons. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are recommended, and waterproof footwear is advisable for longer explorations.
Accessibility: While some of the paths closer to the castle may be relatively smooth, the wider estate grounds include significant slopes, uneven woodland trails, and varying surfaces. This means full accessibility may be challenging, particularly for the more strenuous routes.- Get Directions:
