Gloucester Prison
The prison stands on ground that may once have held a Norman castle. Its Georgian and Victorian blocks spread across about four acres in the middle of Gloucester.
Since it closed as a working prison it has opened its landings to tours, ghost hunts and airsoft games, and its wings, yards and chapel are available to hire.
