For the unwary visitor, Hereford appears peaceful - just a rural city surrounded by beautiful, tranquil countryside. But for half its existence, it was a strategic centre on the often troubled and bloody border between England and Wales.
It can be no surprise that the city and its black-and-white buildings hide dark secrets and uncanny events. From the ghost of a verger who brought down the Cathedral tower to the unquiet spirit of a careless chemist, the city has a rich history of spectral phenomena.
Our walk takes you back in time and unveils the stories behind the modern-day sightings and happenings across Hereford. The re-telling of these stories will transform your perspective of the place, whether you are a resident or a tourist, making the Hereford Ghost Walk an intriguing experience.
Enjoy the chilling tales and haunted sites as you walk through the city's nighttime streets and dark paths with our resident expert and guide, Rebecca.
