York DungeonsNot for the faint-hearted, the York Dungeons present a
fascinating journey back in time, and visitors are guaranteed a
ghoulish, grisly experience that will be hard to forget. With
attractions that run the gamut from the plague-riddled streets of
14th century York, to the Labyrinth of the Lost and its ghostly
Lost Roman Legion, to adventures with the legendary highwayman Dick
Turpin, to the Pit of Despair, Witch Trials, and a recreated Viking
attack, visitors should brace themselves for a hair-raising tour of
the more macabre aspects of York's history. Be tried and convicted
in a Judgement of Sinners trial, witness hangings, and marvel at
the life-like waxworks on display. The tour is not recommended for
those with a nervous disposition or a weak stomach, and children
must be accompanied by an adult.
