About this Event
Step behind closed doors and climb the soaring tower of Bristol Cathedral on a special guided tour that will take you through 900 years of history and architecture.
Climb the 172 steps of Bristol Cathedral's Tower for a guided tour where you'll learn how the Cathedral has evolved over time and the engineering feats that have made it into the beautiful building you see today.
You will come face to face with some of the finest medieval bells in the world, tales of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and uncover the mysteries of the original 12th-century abbey that once dominated College Green.
This tour involves ascending almost 200 steps up a spiral staircase which is narrow in places, with low-hanging doorways and pipes along the route. To make sure the tour is suitable for you and your group please consult the terms and conditions below.
