    There is plenty to do at Highcliffe Castle and a visit generally ranges between 2-3 hours. To see the Castle at your own leisure, we recommend between and hour to an hour and a half to be able to explore all three floors. If you have chosen a talk option, please allow around 2 hours for your full visit; the talk itself will last around an 45 minutes with time for questions at the end. There are also the grounds and the beach to enjoy on the doorstep of the Castle, so plenty to explore and enjoy!
