Bring your family to Beckford’s Tower and explore inside and outside. Follow our family trail to learn more about William Beckford’s life and how he used this amazing Tower that he had built specially for him.

Climb the 154 steps of the Tower’s spiral staircase and admire the view. Take a map board and compass up with you and see if you can identify some of the landmarks visible from the top.

Remember to go outside and explore in the cemetery outside – see if you can find William Beckford’s grave or see what nature you can observe in this peaceful location. The cemetery always open, even if the Tower is closed.

During school holidays check the Tower opening times to come and try out the additional family activities on offer – check our events page for details of upcoming family activities.
