Oxford Castle & Prison
Chalkwell Coaches DayBreak to Oxford Castle & Prison
When William the Conqueror invaded England and won the Battle of Hastings in 1066, Oxford Castle was marked by the Normans as the ideal place for a motte-and-bailey castle. Norman baron Robert O’Doyly took it upon himself to build this castle. Over time, the site transformed from a castle into a prison. Today, after one millennia, Oxford Castle & Prison is a visitor attraction with a story to tell. Led by a costumed guide, the fascinating history of Oxford and its castle will be revealed as you…climb the Saxon St George’s Tower and enjoy 360° panoramic views of the dreaming spires. Descend underground into the 900-year-old crypt, the only surviving remains of St. George’s Chapel and explore the austere confines of the 18th century Debtors’ Tower and Prison D-Wing. You can also marvel the Mound of the 11th century motte-and-bailey castle. In addition, this DayBreak incudes free time in Oxford.
