Are the Castle grounds worth a visit? Was wondering how large The grounds are, Are there any gardens or forest areas that could keep our toddler busy for at least a couple hours and worth an our and half drive?
A:
Grounds are not huge, there is a nice walk outside of the castle not sure there’s is much for a child to get up to though.
When we went before, there used to be transport (I think a horse and buggy?) between the station and the castle, but apparently this has stopped. As we will have small children (2&4) in tow this time, does anyone know of any other way of getting between these two locations? I don't even remember if taxis are available, it was a long time ago!
A:
Sorry no transport between the two. It's probably 15minute walk with little children
Oops! Something went wrong, Please try again after a few minutes
