“The tour is of the castle grounds, and includes some info on the history of the castle. Our tour guide Hine (sp) spoke English well, was very pleasant, knew her subject well, and was on time. I think most people would enjoy this tour. It is not a tour of the inside of the castle, though that is easy to do after the early morning tour. And it was pleasant to be there when there were only a few joggers, no crowds”
