Getting there, and help with costs
- Every prison page on GOV.UK has local directions, parking notes and public-transport pointers.
- If you receive certain benefits or hold an NHS tax-credit exemption certificate, you may get help through the Assisted Prison Visits Scheme.
- Claims usually cover travel, and sometimes overnight stay and meals.
What families reported
“There's only 2 taxis in the town, uber doesn't work here so make sure you call beforehand and book if you're travelling by train”

What to do next
What this actually means
Visit cost is usually travel plus time off work, not the visit itself. The Assisted Prison Visits Scheme exists because this is a known barrier.
Remote prisons are a different product from city locals. Check trains and taxis before you promise a Saturday.
If you qualify for help, claim it. It is not a favour.
Questions families ask
There is a visitors car park, including spaces for Blue Badge holders.
- Visiting times sit on that prison’s hours page, not the travel page. Open Haverigg visiting times before you set off.
