The Castle Museum is housed in former prisons for the likes of debtors and murderers - one famous inmate being Dick Turpin. As you wander the 18th Century cobbled streets, you will gain an insight into what prison life in this era must have been like.

In addition you'll see a large range of historic costumes and childrens' toys.

Take this chance to step back into 400 years of history.
