Old Wardour Castle was the scene of two dramatic Civil War sieges. After being seized by the roundheads in 1643 it was recaptured by the royalists in the following year although not before being badly damaged by a huge explosion. Julian Humphrys will start our exploration of this fascinating site with a talk on the Civil War before taking us round the castle, telling the story of the two sieges and showing how they've left their mark on the fabric of the building.

This event is graded as moderate access, as parts of the tour will involve walking on uneven terrain and navigating several stairs.
