Although Hertford Castle Gatehouse is currently private offices and the home of Hertford Town Council and therefore not open to the general public, there are opportunities to have a tour.
It is open to the public for tours during many of the Summer events and weekday group tours can be booked by prior arrangement through the Tourist Information Centre.
