(Gr); Price: £ Price: £79 per person (Adults) | £74 per person
(Seniors) | JDO Members £71.10 (Adults) | JDO Members
£66.60 per person (Seniors) To coincide with the Channel 5 television series
“Inside the Tower” (series 2), we have organised our first visits to th
historic Tower of London. Explore 1000 years of history at
London’s iconic castle and World Heritage Site. See the Crown
Jewels, take a legendary Yeoman Warder tour and meet the ravens.
The Tower of London was built as a secure fortress and a symbol of
royal power. Behind the castle’s walls were storehouses for weapons
and the Royal Mint produced the nation’s coins. It was also a royal
palace with luxuriously furnished apartments and a menagerie of royal beasts. But the
Tower was also used to contain people who posed a serious threat to national security.
Despite its fearsome reputation the story of imprisonment at Tower is not just one of
traitors and gruesome executions. It is also a tale of luxury, banquets and daring
escapes. Many prisoners did not end their lives there but were released after paying a
ransom or when they no longer posed a threat to security. Like the story of the Tower
itself, its role as a prison is a varied one.
