Midhope Access Restrictions
Due to Midhope Castle's location on a private part of our Estate we often have to prohibit access to visitors due to filming, farming operations, estate activities or large public events in the surrounding area.
We only refuse access in the interests of public safety or for security reasons. Even when access is permitted we urge you to be aware this is a working area.
