O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Ostrvo je služilo kao strateška odbrambena tačka sa utvrđenjima starim preko 400 godina. Kasnije je postalo zatvor koji je držao hiljade zatvorenika, uključujući irske pobunjenike i političke zatvorenike.
Istaknuto: Stare zatvorske ćelije slažu se tri sprata u visinu, sa gvozdenim rešetkama koje bacaju dugačke senke koje pričaju priče o teškoćama i otpornosti. Posetioci mogu prošetati vijugavim bedemima gde su nekada topovi bili upereni ka moru, uživajući u panoramskom pogledu na luku i grad Kob ispod.
Insajderski saveti
- Wear sturdy shoes as paths around the ramparts are uneven and can be slippery when wet.
- The top ramparts offer the best photo opportunities especially around sunset.
- Skip weekends if you want a quieter experience; tours can get busy then.
- Bring a light jacket as wind can be strong along the exposed island walls.
