Oxford Castle Unlocked

If you're looking for things to do in Oxford, why not enjoy a fantastic day out at Oxford Castle Unlocked? Take a guided tour today and let the characters reveal their fascinating stories entrenched in the building’s 1,000 year history.

 

Climb the Saxon St George’s Tower and enjoy its stunning views over the historic city. Descend deep underground into the dark atmosphere of the 900 year old crypt, where it is said, began the education for which Oxford is famed, and where Geoffrey of Monmouth penned the Legends of King Arthur. Explore the austere confines of the 18th century Debtors’ Tower and Prison D-Wing. Scale the Mound of the 11th century motte-and-bailey castle.

 

*Visitors under 92cm tall will not be permitted access to St George's Tower due to health and safety regulations. Visitors unable to climb the tower may wait at the bottom with a guardian and watch our "Story of Oxford Castle" video and explore our interactive touchscreen. Once the tour group returns from the Tower, you are then able to rejoin your group as the tour continues.
