From royal executions to crown jewels, this place is packed with stories. There’s more to see here than just the Crown Jewels. My kids were also fascinated by the torture device replicas in the Lower Wakefield Tower and the chilling stories, including the mysterious disappearance of two young princes.

You’ll also see the remains of the old Royal Menagerie that housed exotic animals like a lion and a polar bear, and the legendary ravens still there as they’re said to protect the kingdom. Make sure to get your tickets in advance during peak season!
