Oxford Castle & Prison

A wonderful historical place with a fun and informative tour. There is a tower with many steps, its optional and I would recommend only doing so if you are able bodies and the guide does tell you this. If you do go up the view at the top is wonderful would fully recommend this place if you're into history.

Such a lovely experience. The guide was very prepared and the place helps to transcend centuries to understand what was the life of the prisoners there. Great view of the city Oxford, I highly recommend to go on top of the hill, and just feel like you are in the clouds.

Excellent tour, worth doing if you are I'm Oxford for a Visit! Leanne was a brilliant tour guide and made the history of the Castle and Prison come alive.

The climb to the top of the tower was not as hard as expected, you do get a break half way up. I am just shy of 6'1" and only banged my head once so that's a bonus.

Very interesting place with and even more interesting stories told by the tour guides! I was really impressed by our guide! He managed to captivate our minds with his beautiful words. If you are in Oxford give the castle a go - you won’t be disappointed I assure you! There is a nice gift shop as well.

Great tour!!! We had plenty of time after the tour to look around on our own which was a nice touch. The crypt was one of our favorite places to explore. The tour guide was friendly and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour.

Interesting place & our lady tour guide was very enthusiastic & clearly spoken. But at over £15 each & not massive it seemed Slightly expensive. On another plus side great views of Oxford from the tower top .

Excellent tour. Our guide, Oliver, was very knowledgeable and made the tour really interesting with lots of stories. Lots of narrow steps though so be warned. Booked in advance for 10am on a Sunday and it was quiet but when we came out about an hour later it was very busy. Highly recommend.

This is a great historical site in the middle of Oxford and I definitely wouldn't miss it if you're planning a day trip here. I couldn't do the tour guide because I was with my dog and they're not dog friendly but I still enjoyed seeing the castle from the outside. I also visited the gift shop and was very happy with what they were offering as they also have Mead wine.
