Peel Castle, a historic fortress on St Patrick's Isle, offers a captivating journey through Viking and medieval history. While largely accessible, some areas within the ruins may involve uneven surfaces and steps, so comfortable footwear is recommended, and full wheelchair access might be limited in certain sections. Visitors can easily explore the castle independently with interpretive signage, though guided tours might be available during peak season, providing deeper insights. The castle typically operates seasonally, usually from spring through autumn, with limited or no access during winter months, so checking the official Manx National Heritage website for current opening times is advisable. Entry usually costs around £6-£10 for adults, and a typical visit duration to fully appreciate the ruins and views is 1 to 2 hours. Beyond its historical significance, the castle offers stunning panoramic coastal views and is a fantastic photo opportunity, often exposed to coastal winds, so dressing in layers is wise.
