Take this unique opportunity to go on one of our popular rooftop tours!

Enjoy the chance to climb the noble cantilevered stone staircase to admire the magnificent view from the roof and look over the world-famous Gardens; this truly is ‘the finest view in England’. These tours are unique and extremely popular so early booking is essential.
