Overall Rating
Excellent
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.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Well thought out from the perspective of a wheelchair user.
Parking & Transport
Good
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.
Accessible Toilets

Large with vertical and horizontal grab rails.
Staff
