Brief description

"The Old Gaol: Welcome to  272 years of  dank, dark, despairing prison life in what  was, originally, Buckingham's Castle Gaol.  Explore the cells that housed murderers, counterfeiters, poachers and thieves.  Find out who attempted risky escapes, and who didn’t survive to tell the tale.

The Museum:  Walk through thousands of years of  local  history from  ancient days to the 20th century. See how the last Ice Age shaped local geology and reflect on the brave servicemen from Buckingham and surrounding villages who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Great War.

The Tourist Information Centre:  Everything you need for an exciting visit to the historic town of Buckingham and its surrounding area. Visit our shop for maps, books, tickets, postcards and locally-sourced gifts. Pop to the T.I.C.to  book your Old Gaol Event, or Party."
