Berkhamsted Castle

The annual opening of historic sites and buildings across England returns in September. Stories are told, traditions explored, and histories brought to life. It’s your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – and it’s all FREE.  Heritage Open Days runs from 11th to 20th September.

Here in Berkhamsted, you can book onto a free guided tour of Berkhamsted Castle. There are 8 tours on offer, including a special tour for families.

Elsewhere in Berkhamsted, there are many more opportunities to celebrate our heritage, community and history, including guided tours of Rectory Lane Cemetery, St Peter’s Church, Amersfort Hall, the Foundling Hospital, Berkhamsted Place, the Dacorum Heritage Museum Store, the railway, the Grand Junction Canal and town tours. On Sunday 13 September, there’s also a pop-up exhibition at Berkhamsted Civic Centre, entitled Dacorum’s Everyday Heroes.
