Review:
Sitting on a small, rocky island just off the eastern shore of the Hudson River, Bannerman Castle is a crumbling Scottish-style castle that was built to store ammunition at the turn of the 20th century. Of course, the castle is no longer used to store weapons, but it's now open to the public for guided tours between May and October. The standard tour includes a boat ride, but special kayak tours can sometimes be arranged as well. If you'd prefer to do a self-guided tour, you can visit on the third Sunday of the month, when a live music concert is held.
