🏰 Oxford Castle & Prison

From a 1,000-year-old castle to a practical prison lasting until it closed in 1996, this is one of Oxford City's most intense story-filled places.

Inside, you can walk through real cells, hear stories of famous prisoners, traumatic cases, and real escape events over hundreds of years.

✨ Highlights not to be missed.

- Watch the real cell and Dan.

- Up St.George's Tower, an old tower over 1,000 years old, for a 360-degree view of Oxford.

- Visit the ancient underground church hidden within the castle area.

- Listen to the myths and creepy narratives about prisoners and spirits that are still being talked about to this day.

Here is not just a tourist attraction but a page of British history with both stories of power, justice, punishment and the lives of people of the past.

Who comes to Oxford and wants to touch another corner of the city, different from the university and beautiful buildings, tell me not to miss it!

📍 Oxford Castle & Prison, Oxford

🎟 It takes about 1-2 hours to watch.

📸 The corner took beautiful pictures both above the tower and inside the castle walls.

... Read moreการได้มีโอกาสเข้าไปเดินเที่ยวชม Oxford Castle & Prison เป็นประสบการณ์ที่น่าจดจำมาก เพราะที่นี่ไม่ใช่แค่ปราสาทธรรมดา แต่เป็นสถานที่ที่สะท้อนบรรยากาศความเก่าแก่ของประวัติศาสตร์อังกฤษอย่างแท้จริง ผมเองชอบตรงที่ได้เห็นห้องขังจริงและแดนคุมขังที่ถูกใช้งานมาอย่างยาวนาน มันทำให้รู้สึกเหมือนได้สัมผัสกับเรื่องเล่าคดีสะเทือนขวัญและเหตุการณ์หลบหนีที่เคยเกิดขึ้นจริง เมื่อต้องเดินผ่านซอกซอยต่าง ๆ ภายในปราสาทและเรือนจำ ความรู้สึกย้อนเวลาไปในอดีตจึงเกิดขึ้นทันที อีกจุดที่ประทับใจคือการขึ้นไปที่ St. George’s Tower หอคอยที่มีอายุกว่า 1,000 ปี ซึ่งสามารถชมวิวเมือง Oxford ได้แบบ 360 องศา วิวที่เห็นจากด้านบนทำให้เข้าใจถึงความสวยงามและเสน่ห์ของเมืองนี้ในมุมที่แตกต่างจากภาพของสถาปัตยกรรมสวย ๆ ของมหาวิทยาลัย นอกจากนี้ยังมีโบสถ์ใต้ดินโบราณที่ซ่อนอยู่ในบริเวณปราสาท ซึ่งเป็นพื้นที่ที่ไม่ค่อยมีใครรู้จักมากนัก ทำให้รู้สึกได้ว่าการมาเยี่ยมชมที่นี่เป็นการค้นพบประวัติศาสตร์ที่ลึกซึ้งและน่าสนใจยิ่งขึ้น สำหรับใครที่ชอบฟังเรื่องเล่าลี้ลับและตำนานเรื่องขนหัวลุก เรื่องของนักโทษและวิญญาณที่ยังถูกพูดถึงก็เป็นไฮไลต์สำคัญที่ทำให้เกิดความตื่นเต้นและอยากรู้เรื่องราวต่อไปเรื่อย ๆ สรุปแล้ว Oxford Castle & Prison ไม่เพียงแต่เป็นสถานที่ท่องเที่ยว แต่ยังเป็นบทเรียนประวัติศาสตร์ที่เผยให้เห็นการสร้างสรรค์ของอำนาจ ยุติธรรม และชีวิตผู้คนในอดีต การมาเที่ยวที่นี่จึงเหมาะสำหรับคนที่อยากสัมผัสอีกมุมหนึ่งของเมือง Oxford ที่ต่างจากการชมอาคารสวย ๆ และบรรยากาศของมหาวิทยาลัยอย่างสิ้นเชิง

Blackness Castle Scotland
Blackness Castle sits quietly on the Firth of Forth, but its history—and its role in Outlander—feels intense. Built in the 1400s as a royal fortress and prison, this is one of Scotland’s most striking filming locations. Walking these stone walls feels like stepping straight into the past.  #Blackn
