Some safety measures have been put in place so trips to the castle may now be slightly different to previous visits.

Friendly staff and volunteers will still be on hand to give a warm - if socially distanced - welcome.

Face coverings must be worn in all indoor areas. Visitors should bring face coverings with them.

Kate Mavor, English Heritage’s Chief Executive, said: "We can’t wait to open up our sites again and to welcome people back. It’s been a long, long winter and our sites – with their wide open spaces, beautiful buildings, fun events and fascinating stories – will be the tonic we all need."
