This one-way journey includes confined spaces, uneven steps, spiral staircases, low lighting and covers 500+ steps. There is a chance to exit around half way through your journey but worth considering suitability before setting off.
The original Castle Dungeon is located at the base of Caesar’s Tower, (accessed via the Towers & Ramparts) and is included within your Castle, Ground & Gardens tickets. You do not need to purchase tickets to the Castle Dungeon ticket to access the Goal.
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.
