As the seasons change, we're now offering 'Sunset' guided tours to give visitors the chance to see the 21st century renovation works inside the shell of our 14th century monument on an evening as the sun is setting so that Hylton Castle can be seen in a new light!

You will learn about the history of the families who lived here and the significant architectural highlights. For those able to ascend our original stone spiral staircase, you will be met by impressive landscapes seen from our viewing gallery on the roof. Tours last approximately one hour and we have free on-site parking. 

£5 per adult
(Please note: this is an adult only tour. English Heritage members require a paid ticket for Sunset Tours but still have free access during our usual day time visits)
