Description
Oxford Castle & Prison can take a guided tour and learn about the history of the prison and the lives of the prisoners who were held there. The tour provides an in-depth look into the harsh conditions of the prison and the daily lives of the prisoners. It’s not just a history lesson, but also an eerie and spooky experience.
The prisoner’s cells are a must-see destination for anyone interested in history or architecture. Each cell tells a story of the prisoners held there, from common thieves to high-born ladies accused of murder. Visitors can see the original graffiti made by the prisoners and how they were trying to cope with their harsh conditions.
Price starts from £16.65 for Adults, £10.57 for Children(5-15 yrs) and £15.75 for Students. If you are looking for Best place for day out with kids and families then this is the perfect destination offering fun, adventure, and unforgettable memories for everyone.
Parking: No parking is available on site. We recommend using one of 5 Oxford Park and Rides which have frequent bus links into the city centre. Seacourt Park and Ride is the closest to the city, however, as that can often get busy (especially on weekends), Redbridge Park and Ride is our preferred car park. Car parks can be found at Oxpens, Worcester Street, Gloucester Green and Westgate Shopping Centre.
Events:
Ghost Fest: Spooky Tours: Tis’ Halloween season and the veil between our world and the next is beginning to thin at Oxford Castle & Prison.
