Oxford Castle & Prison

Unlock 1,000 years of Oxford's history. Oxford Castle & Prison is a visitor attraction with a past that stretches far beyond your imagination. Led by a costumed guide, experience the history of the castle-turned-prison brought back to life. Climb the Saxon St George’s Tower, descend underground into the Norman crypt, explore the Georgian-built Prison D-Wing that remained in use until 1996, and scale the mound of the 11th-century motte-and-bailey castle.
