For many people, the Tower Tour is the absolute highlight of their visit to Salisbury Cathedral.
Wind your way up narrow spiral staircases climbing 332 steps in easy stages into our ancient roof spaces to the foot of our iconic spire, 68 metres above ground level. On your tour you will enjoy spectacular sights -an uninterrupted aerial view of the inside of the Cathedral, the inside of the spire supported by medieval wooden scaffolding and panoramic views of Salisbury and surrounding water meadows. Our experienced guides will tell you all about the construction of this architectural masterpiece.
Tours are scheduled daily Monday - Saturday at 11:15 and 14:15 and includes admission in to the Cathedral and Chapter House with Magna Carta on the day of your tour.
