Ever sat in a medieval dungeon? [I Love Medieval Architecture]

I like to visit old castles. I was in one up in Northumberland and asked the curator to let me into the old dungeon. It was quite scary to sit in there, even for a few minutes, knowing what sort of fate would await.
If I could only put my ex in one - and his lover. . .

Yeap. At Warwick castle.
It wasnt a nice feeling.

@RubySoo It's a bit disturbing, isn't it? As if the ghosts of all the previous inhabitants are with you.

@OnlyRhonda it felt very oppressive. I kept thinking of all the people who had suffered there. It was a round room in a tower. There was one slit in the wall really high up and that was the only light. There were iron brackets in the walks were chains and shackles had once been attached.
Horrid.

Thanks for best reply. X

@RubySoo Oppressive is the right word. It was disturbing - but also interesting

I haven't, but it would be interesting.
I would be thinking about who may have been here.

@braveheart21 Which part of the north east?
I cannot remember the shape of the door!

braveheart21 · 61-69, M

@OnlyRhonda the door is in the main courtyard.. It is the shape of a knight on a horse so they could ride in or out without opening the big gates..

I lived 14 miles outside newcastle..
