English Heritage owns the site which comprises of the ruins of the castle on the mound and the Norman House by the river. They describe the area:
'The remains of Christchurch Castle include parts of the mound-top keep, and more unusually the 12th-century riverside chamber block or 'Constable's House'. This very early example of domestic architecture includes a rare Norman chimney.'
The area is open and free for all to enjoy and the mound has a flight of stone steps leading to the top. Between the castle and the Norman House is the bowling green.
