Crumlin Road Gaol is 170 years old and contains a number of old buildings and structures. However, most of the site is accessible for wheelchair users and those with walking difficulties. The one area which is not accessible is the Tunnel, we have however installed a video outside the tunnel so show visitors what is beyond the steps.

Once in C-Wing there are no additional stairs / steps, however due to the design of the cells, only narrow manual wheelchairs can enter, cell doors are approx. 58cm wide.
Crumlin Road Gaol has 2 manual wheelchairs which are located at the Gaol Entrance. It is advisable to reserve these in advance of arriving.
