Castle and grounds were beautiful and the adventure playground was excellent! Can recommend "Riks bike hire" inside the castle; he is very knowledgeable and friendly!

Great day out for everyone. The adventure park is a hit with the kids. The castle and gardens are beautiful for a stroll around when you get the weather. I love it at Drumlanrig it is so lovely
