Overview

A visit to the newly refurbished historic jail. There are a number of other different events and tours on offer there too. Access has been well thought out. A free carer ticket is available with proof of disability. There is a show that describes the history of the jail, and you get to see the original cells, Governor’s office with historical artificers, hangman’s noose etc.

Transport & Parking

There is a carpark 300 years away, This is pay and display (even for blue badge holders) but it is flat, no gravel, and there are plenty of accessible spaces. There is a hill to negotiate between the attraction and the carpark. You can be dropped off at the gates of the jail, and a pre-bookable shuttle is available between the carpark and the attraction.

Access

Well thought out from the perspective of a wheelchair user.

Toilets

Large with vertical and horizontal grab rails.

Staff
