Called the Kings’ View, the platform stands tall within the Keep where royal living quarters once were. Until now, this part of the castle has been inaccessible to everyone except conservation teams using ropes. Lasting 30 minutes, this experience gives visitors access to the viewing platform while on a usual visit to the castle. This experience is bookable in person on the day, tickets are £5 per person.

Designed to support our ongoing extensive conservation project, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity offers unparalleled views from the top of the Keep. Views that have been locked away for over 350 years.
