ATTENTION BIKERS: Ravenwood Castle is on top of a hill, up a long driveway, off a gravel road. Our entrance and exit drives are steep, winding, graveled and sometimes rough, especially after a rain. These roads and driveways may not be suitable for bikers. Please use them only at your own risk. You could walk your bike up and down. Or you can park at the bottom of the hill and walk to the castle."
