What an amazing place. You can only go inside with a tour, and it is worth it. Not a bad price (£9) either. Our guide was Ellen and she did an amazing job. She had a lot of great facts and informatio…Full review by Sunshine800098

The tour is not free. Eight pounds seems about right from what I can remember but there are concessions for the young and old. The tour is good value for money and is very interesting.

Do you have to do a tour? If not is there a entrance fee.
A:
Yes you can enter the castle for free but to see the prison and courts you have to do the guided tour for which when I was there there was a charge of £8

A:
