Oxford Castle and Prison
About this experience
Join a costumed guide and uncover the rich and fascinating history of Oxford, its castle, and prison. Clamber up Saxon St. George's Tower, one of the oldest buildings in Oxford, and enjoy panoramic views over the historic city.
Then, descend into the atmospheric 900-year-old crypt, the only surviving remains of St. George's Chapel. You'll also explore the Debtors' Tower, Prison D-Wing, and the mound of the 11th-century Motte-and-Bailey castle.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
