Pay-and-display parking (not managed by English Heritage) is less than 5 minutes’ walk away, across the road, next to the Wightlink ferry.

This is a great place for a picnic, as the site has incredible uninterrupted views over the Solent and Yarmouth harbour. A picnic bench is available on the gunners platform.

The on-site shop, situated on the ground floor, sells a selection of Yarmouth Castle souvenirs and English Heritage gifts including toys, books and snacks. We also sell some local products along with chutneys, jams, wines and spirits.

No toilet facilities on site. Public toilets less than 5 minutes walk away, next to the pier.

Displays inside the castle include atmospheric recreations of how the rooms were used in the 16th century, and an exhibition about the many wrecks which occurred in ‘Yarmouth Roads’, the treacherous stretch of sea which the castle overlooks. Exhibition located on the first floor, currently no disabled access.

Incredible uninterrupted views over the Solent and Yarmouth harbour. Some room to run around - but please beware of uneven ground.

Play Areas / Adventure Playground

Upstairs above the Tudor Dining Room is a children's room containing books and some Tudor games and toys.

Push Chairs Allowed

Due to narrow stairs pushchairs are limited to the ground floor.

Take care crossing the road outside to gain access to the site. There are 10-15ft drops off the side of the Castle. Barriers and railings are in place. A 'please take care not to have accidents' sign is in place.
