What travelers say:
A characteristic Norman-style castle, whether it's a train going north or a one-day tour to Giant Road, passes through this coastline building. The size of the castle is not small, and it is better preserved than the castle near Giant's Road. The prominent part of the sea makes it a great seascape.
