Carisbrooke Castle
| This page is about Carisbrooke Castle. For other information about staying at Freshwater Bay House see the page here. |
On my holiday there was a convenient bus at the end of the house drive around 09:40 to Newport via Carisbrooke. Bus 12 is not very frequent so check the bus timetable when you go.
Get off the bus at Carisbrooke High Street. The road up to the castle (Castle Hill) does not have a footpath. Its a while since I've been there so I can't remember if there is a safer route?

About This SiteHere is some information I have gathered together about getting to and walking from HF houses when leaving the car at home. On these pages I have also put some history about former HF houses I have visited. The information here is based on my visits to HF houses over the years. It may be out of date so don't rely on anything here without checking. If you find any errors why not let others know by putting a post on the HF Holiday Fans ( unofficial) Facebook forum. I will try to quote such posts here so they don't get lost. This is information I have discovered over the years which would have been useful to know before. Unfortunately the travel information on the HF website, for getting to houses by public transport, is poor. I think it would be better if the information on this page were on the HF website. |
