Join a Conquer the Tower Tour to climb the 200 steps to the top of Windsor Castle's iconic Round Tower. From a height of 65.5 metres, you can enjoy breathtaking views across the historic Windsor parkland, the Thames Valley, London skyline as well as the extent of Windsor Castle.

The Castle covers an area of 5.3 hectares, you will see:

the Lower Ward, including the medieval St George’s Chapel.

the Middle Ward, built around the original Norman motte and crowned by the Round Tower.

the Upper Ward, containing the State Apartments and Royal Apartments arranged around the Quadrangle.

The view to the south is dominated by the spectacular five-kilometre Long Walk, created by Charles II. This tour will also give you a close view of the Castle’s 15-metre flagpole, which flies the Royal Standard when The King is in residence and the Union Flag when His Majesty is away from Windsor.
