Definitely worth doing the tour to see the old court and cells of what was until recently Europe 's oldest prison . The Pendle witches were tried here.

Nick De Souza

A fantastic guided tour - rather macabre but that's exactly what you want when you visit an old prison !

Phat Buoy

Worth a visit - guided tour recommended to get the best experience and historical background. Pop to The Merchants for a pint after

Joshua Yardy

Beautiful architecture from years of the castle being in the hands of the monarchy from approx. 1092. With a brief earldom before regain by Henry Bolingbrook (IV) who's father was John O'gaunt.

Marco Oliveira

Do get a guided tour and have the experience of getting locked in the dungeons. Thrilling!!!

Sarah Ali

Stunning Cafè ..

Paul Coulton

Sadly no longer the oldest working prison in Europe but the trip round the court is well worth it

Mark Roseby

Great watercolour exhibition but due to roof damage parts of museum were closed. A great, free, museum to spend a few hours. The kids enjoyed the Roman quiz, you have to ask for the sheets. - Andrea
