Abbey Highlights or Tower Tour

Climb 212 Tower steps for a unique view of Church and City and see the Ringing Room where the bells are rung each day. A step-free Abbey tour is also available. 

What to expect

Our free activities are here to help carers take some time for themselves, meet others in a similar situation and most importantly, have fun!

  • The tour will last for approximately one hour and refreshments will be provided in the Learning Room after the tour. 
  • Some of the steps to the tower are steep uneven and narrow, and there are low ceilings in parts and narrow doorways. For these reasons the tour isn’t suitable for those in poor health or with mobility issues – please get in touch us if you’re unsure about your fitness to participate. For those who would like to visit the Abbey and Discovery Centre without climbing stairs, a step-free guided tour of the highlights of the Abbey will also be on offer, just let us know when booking if you’d like to do this. 
  • Part of the tower is open to the elements so please dress appropriately and ensure you have suitable footwear for the climb. 
  • If you need help with transport to attend this activity, please inform us when booking. Whilst we will do our best to arrange this, please note that we cannot make any guarantees.
