Steeped in almost 1000 years of history, the Castle is built in the oldest part of town on a commanding hill top location. Grade I listed with some parts awarded Scheduled Ancient Monument status, it is still a working Crown Court and prison today. The history of the castle is tied up with stories of royalty, power, criminals, dungeons, death, treason, transportation and witchcraft - The famous Pendle witches were tried here. Tunnel down to the ancient dungeons and experience what it’s like to be locked up in stark medieval conditions!
