Visiting the Castle and Grounds
Ayton Castle will be open to the public for guided tours on certain days in the year. The tea room will also be open.
Further details of 2024 events will be posted here in due course.
As from Autumn 2023 the gates at South Lodge will be closed at dusk each evening and will reopen in the morning.
We welcome visitors to the grounds of Ayton Castle. Access to South Drive is under South Lodge or off the Eyemouth Road. Round signs with blue arrows indicate the route of the Riverside Walk and a map can be downloaded here.
Off the South Drive is a walk down through The Dell and then up along a path towards the walled garden. This reinstated path takes in many fine specimen trees and in time this route will be marked out as a tree trail.

Car parking along the South Drive is not permitted.
Please note that the area in front of the castle is not accessible.
We respectfully request that ashes are not scattered within the grounds.
