Built in the late 13th or mid-14th century, it is cut out of the solid rock and slopes steeply down to the level of the bottom of the dry moat or ditch, where there is an exit. Its entrance was likely to have hidden by a slab in the stone floor of a building, known only to a trusted few.
The Sallyport is only accessible via stairs, and some of the path is slippery - sturdy footwear is advised. The sallyport is subject to low light levels.
Additional information: These tours are subject to suitable weather conditions.
