Caerlaverock Castle

About Caerlaverock Castle

The castle is open for you to enjoy but there are currently some access restrictions in place as a precautionary measure. There is currently no visitor access to the West range, outer stair and North West and East towers.

A wide moat, twin-towered gatehouse and lofty battlements make Caerlaverock the epitome of the medieval stronghold.

Caerlaverock’s triangular shape is unique among British castles. A walk around the castle gives a sense of its strength, economy of form and pleasing geometry.

There is currently no visitor access to the West range, outer stair, North West and East towers.
