The 15 Best Ghost Walks in Britain

28 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.7 average  ·  from $12

Plague pits, closed-up vaults and a lot of dark stairs. These 15 run after dusk in London, Edinburgh and York, and the difference between them is whether you get history with the scares or just the scares. Prices, meeting points and how frightening each really is.
