Rockfleet Castle has four floors and is over eighteen metres in height. It is open to the public; the key is available at the nearby farm. The castle was installed with a metal walkway in 2015, from its adjacent grassland surrounding to its door, due to the sheer inconvenience of accessing its entrance during high tides.
