Mulgrave Castle

Well worth the visit hoping to go back soon

We visited Old Mulgrave Castle today, a lovely sunny day. We parked in Sandsend and took a few wrong turns along the way. It's not signposted anywhere, we probably walked 2 miles before we got on the right track. We wasn't sure we were on the right track till a lovely couple gave us some directions. Essentially, walk to the small bridge on the main road, head to a church and keep going through to a gate that you can walk round, through a new car park, and enter the woods.there are a few tracks that shoot off, but keep to the left. Don't go over a bridge, keep to the main track. There is a tunnel on the right, but again, keep to the left. Eventually, there's some wood steps. go up them and your there. it's a decent walk, probably about 2 miles from Sandsend.There are some lovely views along the way , we spotted a few Squirrels, but the colour of the trees are are lovely this time of year (October)It's Free to enter , but apparently , only open on a weekend and a Wednesday, but probably worth checking.The track was litter free, and also we didn't spot any dog dirt.We managed 6 1/2 miles from the carpark on the way out too Whitby (on the hill) , lost for about 2 miles.A lovely walk, friendly people along the way (we only seen 5 couples the whole 2 1/2 hours. Another local treasure found.

Lovely forest walk to this very interesting castle ruin

Great castle in a lovely location, will go back. Set back in the forestGreat walk there

A great ruined castle that you can only access on the weekend or Wednesday, you have to walk to it from East Row car park Sandsend

A wonderful hidden gem in Sandsend.Lovely walk and quite a bit of ruins to look around.

Lovely castle, but only open at week-ends and one week day (Thu, I think).

Beautiful spot to visit. A picturesque ruin surrounded by forest. We walked the area for well over an hour and literally didn't see another soul. The woods are lovely and the paths are almost fully wheelchair accessible in their smoothness. There is a 100% lack of directional signage however, and quite a few forks in the road so it is a gamble whether or not you'll find the castle!

One of those hidden places that no one tends to know about. A bit of a trek from the car park but well worth the effort. Info boards there to explain the history as well.
