Important visitors would have entered the castle here, at one of its three riverside entrances. Kings, queens and high ranking state visitors would have stepped off their boats and climbed the Queen's Stairs in their finery on to the wharf.
They would then cross a drawbridge to the 14th-century Byward postern gate which leads into the castle's Outer Ward. The gate is protected by a late 15th-century wedge-shaped stone turret, designed to house small cannon.
