In the 21st century, the castle is controlled by English Heritage, as the successor to the Ministry of Works, and open to visitors.
The interior wooden floors have been lost, but the spiral staircase and the stone, vaulted roof remain intact and accessible.
English Heritage have commented that the castle is "one of only a few stone fortifications that survive from the Interregnum", and it is protected by UK law as a Grade II* listed building.
