It slows down your walking but it makes it more interesting and you can quickly walk it again if you want which we did. The Victorian prison is interesting and some of the interactive features weren’t available when we visited due to Covid restrictions. We stopped for a coffee in middle of our visit and it took us just over the 3 hours.

Wheelchair users can access the Magna Carta Vault and all levels of the prison. With regards to the wall there is a lift to take you up to the walls but only the East Wall is accessible (the one over looking the Cathedral). Hope that helps.
