About

Quick facts: Over 800 years of captivating tales and royal drama are housed within these ancient stone walls. Ravens roam freely here, carrying legends that warn the kingdom will fall if they ever leave.

Highlights: A curious tradition keeps at least six ravens on-site, with their clipped wings keeping them nearby to guard the fortress. The Crown Jewels shine brightly in the Jewel House, displaying some of the most stunning and historic regalia in the world.

Insider tips

  • Wear comfortable shoes for extensive walking on uneven surfaces.
  • Catch the Yeoman Warders' guided tours which are lively and informative.
  • Snap photos near the Traitors' Gate for dramatic backdrops but avoid flash photography inside the Jewel House.
