Floors Castle

Floors Castle is better treated as an outdoor Borders family day than a quick stately-home stop. The playground, grounds, and space to roam are a big part of the appeal, so it works best when the weather is decent and you are happy to give it several hours rather than squeezing it into a short heritage visit.

Best for Families in the Borders who want a longer outdoor castle day and are happy to plan around seasonal opening changes

Castle Ages 3-5, 6-12, 13+ 3-5 hours
