Shame your day didn't quite work out although the Castle tour is quite special ... done that twice now. I went with a friend to see the Lindisfarne Gospels recently when I had a week off work, it was very interesting as they amassed a national collection of relevant books. Due to maintaining the temperature for the preservation of the gospels, it is colder inside the building that it is outside.

The guidebook says it is not normally open to visitors. But on the day we visited it was open and some children's activities were taking place there. On the day I commented that this had spoilt the tranquility of that space. But now I know it is not usually open for viewing I am glad I had a glimpse of that space.

There is also in The Cloisters a small hole in one of the arches and the midsummer sun shines through it onto an arrow head etched into the pavement. In midwinter it shines onto an arrow head etched into the far wall. (Assuming we get any sunshine of course :)) Did you see it? Now you have an excuse to go back :) Don’t know about the hall/stairway in the castle but The Cloisters were used for the Harry Potter films.
