Reviews of Candleston Castle
D. N.Fantastic place to visit. Very easy with the castle almost in the car park.
No money taken in the car park machines, card payments.
The road to the car park is narrow but there are many passing places please drive with extra care as there are a lot of hikers /walkers enjoying the area.
The castle is not actually a castle but an old fortified Manor House. Lots of information and history are readily available online if you search. Be minded this is a ruin but there is much to see here. The surrounding area is great for walks, especially with dogs, walking is popular here. A short distance is also the large sand dune known locally as The Big Dipper.
P. /. H. H.Not much left of it, little bit of architecture left, but it's a Nice Walk if you go from oxwich castle to cadleston castle over swing bridge, there's also a nice little church on the way, if you go round the back of the church you will see some really old gravestone that are under cover, very interesting, obviously nice walks for the dogs as well. If you have a look around by the car park you will see sand dunes you can walk down to Beach from here as well.
N. C.A lovely place for a visit, a few old walls and rooms to look around, very peaceful and relaxing despite the car park being a few yards away.pay by card parking ,No disabled access,not for wheelchair people ,Quint little cottages in the lane way ,and you can cross the stepping stones to the much bigger Ogmore Castle.
k. s.Lovely secluded place for great walks. Car park is very bumpy so take it slow. Toilets on site. Castle ruins are worth an explore as are the sand dunes. If you are feeling energetic a walk to the beach is clearly marked.
A. O.What a great find! It's not quite a castle but despite it's dilapidated state it's impressive. A lot is overgrown and many walls have fallen. If the undergrowth was cleared away the extent of ruin would be clearer.
A small stream flows down below the mound the ruin sits on, winding its way towards the Ewenny River and onto the sea.
The area is quite sandy and on the opposite side of car park the dunes start. You can walk across the dunes to the sea which apparently takes 20 minutes.
O. H.Love coming here, the castle ruins and the dunes near by, plenty of areas to explore. Bring picnic and plenty of water.
D.Lost in a thicket this 14C Castle has outlived the inhabitants and clings on with an uncertain future.
Showing past grandeur it can fire the imagination and give you a sense of life here in centuries past. The hall still has its hearth, the windows look out on the trees now where previously it would have been cleared pasture, with perhaps a view of Ogwr castle.
Just a stone throw from the fee paying carpark, or a 10 walk from the village centre and its steppng stones over the river Ogmore.
A.Attractive, free to enter ruin next to lovely sand dunes. It does not have any explanatory signs or guides, and is quite over grown. You are expected to look after your own safety, and could easily climb into slightly unsafe areas. There is ample car parking and toilets in the car park
