A key anchor attraction of the Hunter, Maitland Gaol has a vibrant history spanning more than 150 years. After housing some of Australia's most hardened and notorious criminals, Maitland Gaol closed in 1998. The cell doors have now been swung open, with visitors invited to 'serve time' learning about the facility, past prisoners and daring escapes. Open for public inspection every day, Maitland Gaol offers visitors the opportunity to indulge in a world-class, self-guided audio tour.
