Children

Unfortunately due to Health and Safety, children under the age of 5 years are not permitted up to the Tower (for this reason, there is no entrance charge for under 5's).

We request one guardian to stay at the bottom of the Tower when the tour group goes up if you have an under 5 in your party. However we keep you occupied with our video link screen and Oxford Castle history screen. You are then able to rejoin your group as the tour continues.
