WHAT TO EXPECT
A few notes on what to expect when visiting Newman’s Castle.
Please understand that the Castle and grounds are a facility that is not all polished granite & smooth surfaces…It is a somewhat authentic medieval experience with natural and often rough wood, natural stone floors indoors, with gravel and dirt underfoot around the grounds.
Sensible footwear, and clothes, should be considered. So fancy high heels with open toes are not recommended.
Also, we’re in the country. There are bugs. Although we take precautions to keep the insect population down you might, at certain times of the year, encounter their presence.
So please wear sensible attire when visiting and we hope you enjoy the experience.
Thank you,
The Castle Keepers
