Open Days

For two years only, this Grade II listed monument will be open for pre-booked tours. Take this fantastic opportunity to climb all 217 steps to experience the breathtaking views and to learn more about the Monument. You will be accompanied by a trained Nelson's Monument tour guide who will expain the monument's construction, history and restoration and about its links with our greatest naval hero, Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson. Each visitor will receive a certificate on returning to terra firma.

Our timed tours last for forty five minutes and cost £7.50 per person. Due to the slim spiral staircase and very small viewing platform at the top, only two visitors and the guide can make the ascent at any one time. We regret that we cannot accept small children or visitors with heart, lung or mobility problems on the tours. The Monument has a parapet which is 1.3 metres high. Visitors will be asked to sign a disclaimer at the time of booking and will be asked to leave bags or bulky items in the care of another guide, who will be stationed at the base of the Monument.
