The outer curtain wall surrounds a large courtyard of stone and numerous stairways that allow access to the outer wall. The wall protects this area from the winds and sea spray, and it lessens the fury of storms for those within. Unlike most castles, very little of the courtyard area is used for outbuildings, though tourneys and arms practice are often held here. Stables and kitchens are kept within the yard, and open areas are designed for practice and archery.
