Lonely Planet review for Penitentiary Chapel Historic Site

See the court rooms, and grim cells and gallows of the Penitentiary Chapel Historic Site. Writer TG Ford mused: ‘As the Devil was going through Hobart Gaol, he saw a solitary cell; and the Devil was pleased for it gave him a hint, for improving the prisons in hell’. For extra frisson take the excellent one-hour National Trust–run Ghost Tour held most nights (bookings essential).
