Battlements Tours

Langley Castle is an exceptionally authentic English castle, complete with over 670 years of history, since it was first built in 1350. This rich heritage, and the genuine fortifications that the castle boasts, not to mention its medieval garderobes (the best in Europe), all demand exploration, which is why we offer guests – and non-residents too – our daily ‘Battlements Tour’.

Taking place just after breakfast has finished being served, the tour will open your eyes to parts of Langley Castle that may have escaped your attention as a guest or visitor, as well as being your passport into the rich history of the castle and the personalities who have called it home.

Do not miss out on the opportunity to join the tour, if you can.
