What do you get if you take 2,000 years of history, add lashings of ancient buildings and mix in some of the world’s most colourful characters? A city that’s alive with ghosts — and this experience will take you into its darker corners. As you move through narrow streets and past old stone façades, you’ll meet the victims of horrific punishments and learn how those events shaped local life.
Along the way you’ll see the hangman’s house and visit one of the most haunted roads in England. You’ll hear chilling tales of phantom Fellows and spooky Scholars who are said to haunt the city, and your guide will link these stories to the buildings and people behind them. The focus stays on the atmosphere and the stories themselves, giving you a sense of the city’s long, sometimes gruesome past as you explore.
