The Castle is a 2 kilometre walk from downtown Victoria, located just off Fort Street on Joan Crescent. It is a steady incline up Fort Street — an experience unto itself with boutiques, bistros, and antique shops lining the street. Fort Street is also on a bus route and has dedicated bike lanes. Free parking is located on site.
