Highlights
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.

5Bank holiday
For a fairly new tour, it was really good. My husband and I have done quite a few ghost tours and this one is up there with the rest. Anna our guide was very friendly,polite and helpful and extremely informative. All the way through our tour she got to know us and asked us lots of questions . Walking through the beautiful city of Bath listening to stories was a great way to start of our little break away

The tour itself was amazing and all the information and stories were so cool! And if you’re lucky enough to have Keiran as your tour guide, the experience will be the safest and nicest trip you have in Edinburgh! A guide who is truly interested in his guests and loves his job! Thanks for the amazing experience Kieran!

About Bath
Bath, in the west of England, is a Georgian spa city of honey-coloured stone, built around natural hot springs first used by the Romans.
Bath's hot springs were first enclosed by the Romans, who built a temple and bathhouse complex here in the first century, now the Roman Baths museum beside Bath Abbey. In the eighteenth century the city rebuilt itself as a fashionable spa in pale local limestone, and the terraces and crescents designed by John Wood the Elder and the Younger, including the Circus and the Royal Crescent, give it its look. The whole city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
