You can also explore the site's enchanting Princess Beatrice Gardens where you can sit and enjoy a picnic in the beautiful surroundings of nature.
There are unbeatable views to be had from the castle walls, and you'll even be able to meet the famous Carisbrooke donkeys that call the site their home!
