Visiting a control tower,

Hi, I'm sure this has been asked before so apologies if it has. I've got to the stage 3 assessment for NATS and I think a visit to a tower or 2 would help massively, however I'm having a nightmare actually contacting any towers to try and organise visits.

I've emailed the SATCO at Leeds Bradford (closest to me) but she hasn't replied to me and I'm not sure if she will. I've also been looking at all the NATS towers (Heathrow, Manchester etc.) but the websites say for ATC inquiries to contact NATS directly, but I emailed NATS and they said to contact the towers directly!

I've been looking around even more and can't find any contact information (Phone numbersor email addresses) to even speak to the towers let alone arrange anything!

Does anybody have any information on how to contact individual towers or how to arrange visits? Has anybody been in this boat before? This is really irritating me and I think it'd be really interesting for me to visit a few towers.

Cheers.
