As darkness falls, Oxford’s haunted history stirs to life. Follow your guide through the oldest parts of the medieval city, uncovering Oxford's grim and gruesome past.
From the Martyrs Cross, where bishops were burned alive in the reign of Bloody Mary, wander down shadowy streets and alleys to Dead Man's Walk, where a spectral soldier guards the city's walls. Hear of murders and executions, phantoms and poltergeists, ancient libraries and unsolved mysteries — and the real history behind them. See where Oxford's brooding, moonlit architecture inspired generations of storytellers, from Shakespeare and Wilde, to JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis, to the screen adventures of Harry Potter. Your guide may even reveal their own eerie experiences on the cobbles of Oxford's most haunted street... if they’re sure the resident spirit isn’t listening!
Join us — and the ghosts of centuries past — for a tour of Oxford's macabre history, fantasy heritage, and sinister tales that will haunt your imagination.
