This one-way journey includes confined spaces, uneven steps, spiral staircases, low lighting and covers 500+ steps.

Castle Dungeon; Suitability
The Castle Dungeon is an immersive experience within enclosed dark spaces complete with live-actors. Prepare for gruesome tales & scares along the way so we would suggest this is not suitable for anyone of a nervous disposition. Bringing to life the scarier side of history, each set covers a particularly event or time in history, (The Plague, Witches Courtroom) and includes themes of torture & death where actors actively encourage audience participation. Worth noting that a member of staff can organise your exit from the attraction, (but no re-entry), if you find it’s not for you.
This attraction is not suitable for children under 10 years, pregnant women, people with heart conditions, claustrophobia, epilepsy or back complaints.
