Access to the castle is via a made pathway that is rather steep just before you reach the entrance but there are no steps. However once you reach the entrance the is a short rather steep section to enter the castle and then unfortunately any further access would be problematic for a wheelchair user or pram/stroller as there are various areas of steps to negotiate, depending on which area of the castle you wished to see. So unfortunatelynot really that wheelchair user friendly.
