Magnificent castles

Your Great British Heritage Pass allows you to explore almost 150 fantastic castles throughout Britain.

Glamis Castle

Picture yourself wandering around Britain's castles like Chepstow Castle in Wales, Hever Castle in Kent or Glamis Castle in Scotland’s Tayside. Explore atmospheric ruins, towering fortresses and fairytale castles. Enter through a sturdy stone gatehouse. Clamber up the well-trodden stone steps of a spiral staircase and walk the battlements. Peer out through arrow slits like ancient archers trying to spot the enemy. Find out what happened to the prisoners by descending into the dark dungeons.

Wander through great halls where noblemen feasted in extravagance, and marvel at the sparse kitchens where servants somehow created these magnificent banquets. Maybe you’ll be lucky and bump into the owner, as some of our castles are still lived in.
