I think we were there for some short visit on our way elsewhere,.tour wise, years ago. Interesting prison. Amazing how much it costs to get into places now. But there is upkeep and wages so I guess that's ok. Thanks for sharing your day.

Last year (or perhaps the year before), the castle threw open its doors and grounds for a day or two and you could get in for free. We spent the day there and even had a tour for free. There were medieval reenactors and Victorian jailers and visitors. One of the best days ever. Thanks for all your lovely photos.

The courthouse is still in use - not the prison though which is really eerie and creepy (kids loved it). Have they finished the building work/renovations on the wall?
