The arrival of the 'grim yet gleeful' Dick Turpin carriage ride at York Dungeon has caused a stir among parents. Turpin, who was executed in York in 1739 for horse-theft, was a highwayman and gang-member who was famed for killing a man when his gang broke up.
Those who dare to visit the dungeon can take a look back to experience the past and have a go on the mysterious and spooky Dick Turpin carriage ride. The exploits of the mysterious man of history have been romanticised in the last three hundred years and a carriage ride at York Dungeon has been named after him as his scary character makes a return to the city where he died.
