A very interesting and unusual museum. The governor/ guide was available to ask questions. This is the first Victorian prison we have been to. The courthouse was also interesting and worth the extra few pounds to go around

Very interesting and informative about the harsh realities of life in the 1800's Chains, whippings, human treadmill to pump water. Just a few of the lesser punishments for maybe stealing a few potatoes or a hen!

Dark tourism at its best. Grim ghoulish disturbing place. The children's art around the jail is chilling. The staff are knowledgeable and extremely welcoming

A great place to visit being a real capsule of prison life in Victorian times. Great team of volunteers and appreciated Roger's explanations and model building to show some aspects of the prison. Highly recommend a visit if in Beaumaris.

Amazing place. Not only is it busting with history, atmosphere and stories but the building itself is stunning. Very deceptive as its alot bigger than the outside would suggest. The staff are very friendly and will share a ghost story or two if asked. There is a visitors book behind reception where guests add their experiences. Definitely worth a read after you've finished your tour. It's great value for the money. Very oppressive energy about the place. 2 executions occurred here. Spooky place.

Well worth a visit. Given its age it's in excellent condition. Plenty of information available throughout. During our visit we spent a good 2 hours. Check pricing before paying, if you're a senior citizen there is a good discount.
