This
is
a
fascinating
place.
Now
privately
owned,
this
former
prison/quarry
is
now
a
brilliant
venue
for
rather
odd
days
out.
We
visited
in
November,
so
bought
a
ticket
online
and
then
called
the
number
on
the
gate
when
we
arrived.
They
then
open
the
gate
remotely.
In
the
summer
the
gate
has
staff
on
it
who
will
check
tickets
etc.
There’s
now
about
20/25
motorhome
spaces
that
can
be
rented
here
in
the
season
with
electric
hookup,
water,
toilets
and
other
services.
€25
per
night
in
2023.
The
quarry
buildings
are
submerged
in
the
crystal
clear
water
and
there’s
a
“beach”
made
from
what
has
eroded
from
the
huge
waste
heap
that
towers
over
the
site,
with
it’s
steep,
eroded
gullies.
The
prison
is
next
door
and
needs
a
separate
ticket.
It’s
the
kind
of
place
that
wouldn’t
exist
in
many
other
countries,
but
it’s
a
great
place
to
go
and
experience.
