There are only three Norman Castles on this scale remaining in England and so a family day out at Rockingham Castle is a must for families who are interested in history.
Perched atop an escarpment, the Castle dominated the Welland Valley for centuries. The Castle is magnificently surrounded by 18 acres of formal gardens. The beautiful gardens contain a striking 17th Century yew hedge, a colourful rose garden, and a wild garden with over 200 species of trees and shrubs.
With masses of big open spaces for children to play, Rockingham Castle is the perfect family day out – and dogs are most welcome too!
Opening Days: 19-21 Oct & 26-28 Oct, and 25-28 Nov & 2-5 Dec
