Wicklow Gaol has been awarded the Covid 19 Safety Charter by Failte Ireland

Looking for something to do in Wicklow?

Wicklow Gaol is an unforgettable journey through an original prison building, telling the stories of the men, women and children imprisoned here under British rule over two centuries of turbulent history.

Suitable for all the family, the fully-engaging audio-visual experience features holographic appearances of the Gaoler and characters from the prison who share their stories of the times.

The Gaol has also just launched an incredible new Virtual Reality Experience – The Gates of Hell – to bring visitors back in time as active witnesses to the Gaol as it would have been two centuries ago.
