|---|---|
| Opening times | Open daily 10am-5pm (last entry 4.30pm) (shown in late October 2026; English Heritage often reduces days in winter, so check before you go). |
| Best time to go | Weekdays in term time. |
| School holiday tip | Early July is the sweet spot for Scottish families: English/Welsh schools stay in until about 20-23 July. Late August is the English/Welsh peak, so choose Tue-Thu and arrive at opening. |
| Best ages | About 5+; steps, drops and uneven ground, so check pram access |
| If it rains | Mostly outdoors with little shelter; pick a dry day |
| Money saver | Check English Heritage, Historic Environment Scotland or Cadw membership value; many ruins are cheap or free. |
| Top tips | Walk the Elizabethan Garden first, then the ruins. Bring a picnic. |
