    It was a great day for my two boys and a great education for them. The gaol is very well kept and well run by professional staff. Thanks for a great day..

    It's impressive how much effort went into both preserving and presenting the history of this Gaol. Well-realized mannequins and piped-in jail sounds turn a normal stroll amongst the old prison walls into a time travel experience.

    I thought the price was ok. It was around 32 euro for 4 of us and it was worth the hour. the videos at the end were a nice touch.well worth going to see and parking is not a problem. Stunning building beautiful bit of history and a lovely quick trip out if you dont have a huge amount of time.if your walking its not too far outside of the city and you have a beautiful walk along the way with some fantastic views

    Very interesting place to visit and take the tour. You walk through the jail to different locations with a guide map that has neat facts about how the jail operated, stories of prisoners that occupied it, and how life was inside the prison. The tour can be done in about 30-45 minutes depending on how fast you read. Definitely a must-see while you are in the area.
