Genuinely one of the most historic places in England. A must see for any local as much as any tourist. The place is stunning and incredibly well preserved. The free yeomen tours are educational, witty and dark. And as for the crown jewels, the vault doors are almost as impressive as the treasures inside. It is a little on the expensive side, but if you buy an annual membership to Historic Royal Palaces, you only have to visit one other stately home to instantly make a substantial saving. If you don't go, you deserve to lose your head.
