Take this fantastic opportunity to climb all 217 steps to experience the breathtaking views and to learn more about the monument

skip During 2008 this Grade I listed monument will be open for a limited number of pre booked tours. You will be accompanied by a trained Guide who will explain the monuments construction, history and restoration, and its links with our greatest naval hero. Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson.
The timed tours last for 45 minutes and cost £7.50 per person. Pre booking is essential and can be done either online at www.nelson-museum.co.uk/monument or by contacting the Curator by telephone Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Please note that 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, and that regretably small children or visitors with heart, lung or mobility problems cannot be accepted on the tours.
The monument has a parapet 1.3 metres high. Visitors will be asked to leave bags or bulky items in the care of another guide, stationed at the bottom of the monument.

Tours at 10.00, 10.45, 11.30, 12.15, 1.45, 2.30, 3.15, 4.00
