The Great Hall and State Rooms
The Great Hall was destroyed by fire in 1871 and restored, and today it holds displays of armour. The Great Hall and State Rooms are reached by steps or by a lift beside the Great Hall steps.
Towers and ramparts
The Towers and Ramparts route climbs 540 steps up the castle’s towers and along its walls, with views over the courtyard and the River Avon. It is not accessible to wheelchairs.
Grounds and shows
Capability Brown landscaped the grounds from 1749; the Conservatory stands in the Peacock Garden, and the old mill and engine house sit by the river below the castle. Daily shows and history talks are included with entry, while The Castle Dungeon has a separate charge.
