This is a beautiful view of an amazing castle that's time has past. You must park on the right side of the road (when heading Northbound) about 200 meters south of the actual "trail" which is unmarked. You'll be looking for a white cross on the left side of the road. Just past the cross you'll see a trail which will lead to a pedestrian bridge for the railroad because there is actually a train stop there for Breakneck Ridge. Go up just past the bridge and you'll find a platform with a wonderful view of the island, as well as, a marker describing the castle and its original owners. Be careful when walking to and from the parking area because you park around a curve and are walking on a busy road. For this reason, I do not recommend this for small children.
