The castle is great but the staff needs an attitude check. It’s worth visiting because it’s gorgeous but I won’t go back because of the staff who is mostly made up of snobby NFA students.

The first and last time I was there I was 9?!? My dad was still alive I know that because he took me there to see it. I’ve been a SHerlock Holmes fan for as long as I can remember and I don’t even know why I like Sherlock Holmes that much it was just a facination that has been with me for like ever. but when we were there it was under construction and I remember a sign saying it wouldn’t be open again until 201o…but did they get done with the constuction early (mainly because I reallly want to go there) I just want to know if it’s open for visitors again =/

I grew up in town and was in elementary school when we toured the castle for a field trip. It never loses its charm!

Classic! by ellemenopea

One of the best places to visit in the state! This castle is built along the Connecticut River. Its built with all sorts of nooks, crannies and secret passages. The history of William Gilette is also there, and quite interesting. He is the man who gave us the classic image of Sherlock Holmes. There are also trails along the grounds that take you to the river.
