Monument (section by section): The Castle courtyard is cobbled. The cellar floor of the tower, which contains an interpretation display, is accessed via a straight timber stair of 14 steps with a handrail.

The stairs have a fixed handrail and light levels beyond the first floor are dependent on natural light, and as such may be very low particularly in winter.
