This time of year people are often thinking about shaping up and shedding the odd pound. So if you are determined to develop a healthier lifestyle come along to the castle. No, we are not opening a gym, but there is the chance to get some good old-fashioned exercise from a walking tour of the castle followed by a healthy lunch at the Unicorn Café.

Our chefs have designed a special Detox Combo Meal Deal which will be running until the end of February. It consists of soup and a main course plus a Firefly health drink for £7.50. The exact menu will vary but will include dishes like tomato and basil soup, oven roasted vegetables bound in a mild curry sauce or a delicious egg salad on brown bloomer bread. And according to a few back-of-the-envelope calculations, plus a quick look on the internet, we reckon that an hour or more looking round the castle should burn off 100 calories or more. So, while we can’t make you super-fit, we can provide a step in the right direction. And for many people the chance to explore a great medieval castle is more alluring than lifting weights or panting away on a treadmill.
