Where medieval magic meets Family Adventure 

Step into a storybook setting at Ford Castle — a real ancient fortress where families can enjoy a truly unique stay together. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and rich history, it’s a place full of fun and adventure. 

What makes Ford Castle so special? 

It really is a castle! This one-of-a-kind centre offers exciting experiences you won’t find anywhere else, from the thrilling Bridge Abseil to the River Raft Challenge, River Canoe Voyage, and even a Gorge Zip Wire. After a day full of adventure, you can unwind in the cosy castle wings or round the camp fire — the perfect way to relax, share stories, and make memories that will last a lifetime. 

Please note that due to the exclusive nature of the dates available for families at PGL Ford Castle in Summer 2026 we will be operating our standard menus only, which you can find full details of here. Ford Castle offers a relaxed outdoors focused environment for families and does not include a bar area - if you are looking for these facilities we recommend checking out Barton Hall or Caythorpe Court
