This is a must see if you are in Victoria. A 20 minute walk from downtown and a worthwhile site to see. A piece of Victorian history, well maintained and beautiful. Great place to take pics as well. More

If you like historic buildings, this is a must. Allow at least one hour (or more) to do the castle justice. It's worth reading each of the placards in the various rooms to get sense for the history of this place. More
