At the Dungeons you will experience a boat ride, where here you are accused by Henry VIII of being part of Anne Boleyn’s conspiracy of treason. You are rushed on to the boat and here you share her final journey to her execution. And to make the journey even more exciting, playing the King is Brian Blessed, who appears as a giant 3D head.
