There are two roads to access Larnach Castle, and it'll take you approximately 20-25 minutes from the Octagon. Please drive carefully as both roads are windy and can be narrow in places. There are places to pull over on both roads as well. 

1. Portobello Road along the harbour, once you get to Company Bay turn right up Castlewood Road.
2. Highcliff Road along the high road from Anderson's Bay.
