Offered in: English

Step into the shadowed past of one of Britain’s most beautiful cities on The Haunted Paths of Bath — a two-hour immersive ghost walk revealing the stories history tried to bury. Beneath Bath’s golden stone and elegant crescents lie centuries of disturbed graves, tragic deaths and lingering spirits. From hidden burial grounds beneath Bath Abbey to sealed Civil War cellars, your guide brings true local tales to life. Hear phantom footsteps at Abbey Green, meet the Grey Lady of the Theatre Royal, and discover the heartbreaking story of Julianna Popjoy. Pass Mary Shelley’s House of Frankenstein, wander eerie Trim Street, and follow the misty Gravel Walk where duels once ended in death. At the Royal Crescent, learn of the phantom carriage that never arrives, before finishing in Queen Square with one final ghostly guardian. Blending history, humour and haunting atmosphere, this unforgettable tour offers a darker, fascinating way to experience Bath.
