Very entertaining tour. The guide was hilarious and animated and told the sinister stories very well. He kept my attention the whole time and we learned some very interesting/scary facts!

Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Went after dark and the bell ringing in the churchyard with the autumn leaves falling was very atmospheric, very enjoyable 😊
