Craig's Castle

I wouldn’t call it a castle, it’s more of a quaint tower with a great view of CT. The drive up to the castle is beautiful and serene, though if you’re the driver you’re spending all your concentration on staying on the narrow road & squeezing by oncoming cars. The castle gate is open during the summer and then you can enjoy the view of CT from the top of the tower, you can see as far as Waterbury maybe even farther. There are interesting woods & rocks to explore- though the folks with fear of hights should refrain from nearing the edge. There is a park with a pond/lake at the base of the hill. I don’t know the milage up the hill but it would be a stiff walk as it is a 10 minute drive or so.

Also, entry to the park & castle is free!
