The Behind-the-Ropes Tours will run on selected dates at Dunster Castle and Watermill in Cardiff. Admission is required to take part in the tours, which give access to the castle's inner workings and repurposed spaces.
Step beyond the rope and into the inner workings of Dunster Castle.
Embark on a new route, explore repurposed spaces and discover their history, all with the help of one of our brilliant volunteer guides.
Venture into new areas from the butler's bedroom to the infamous 'creepy corridor', discover fascinating finds and gain an insight into the areas that allow us to do what we do.
