The post you are reporting:
The castle is expensive and always has been, but, and it is a very big but, the problem lies not in the amount of money spent but in the amount of time spent. If you visit the castle, do the great tower(keep) and then go home then it is a lot to spend, but do the tower, the Regimental museum, watch the film that introduces the tower exhibition, go to the Church and pharos, walk the ramparts and see the guns, magazines and anti-aircraft gun sites, go to the port war signal station and visit the secret wartime tunnels, see the pocket pistol and do the underground works under the spur. I think you will find that you get a aweful lot of castle for your money, and if there is an event on (for which there is no extra charge) then I don't think you have a lot to complain about,£50 won't get you far at Alton towers!
