Getting started

Meet your professional tour guide at the designated starting point in central Bath. Join your group for the evening ghost walk. After a brief introduction, you set off on foot into the historic streets as night falls. The guide outlines the format of the walk, including when you will take part in games and quizzes along the route.

What to expect

Bath Abbey burial grounds and Civil War cellars

Your first major stop takes you beneath the surface stories of the city at the Bath Abbey burial grounds and sealed Civil War cellars. This part of the walk focuses on Bath’s darker chapters, combining history with eerie local legends.

Features

• The visit to the Bath Abbey burial grounds and Civil War cellars lets you explore hidden areas associated with conflict, burial, and unrest, setting the tone for the ghostly tales that follow.
• With your professional tour guide leading the way, you hear how these underground spaces connect to reported sightings and unexplained events that still trouble the site.

Abbey Green and Theatre Royal

From the abbey area, the route continues through the city streets to Abbey Green and the Theatre Royal. These places are closely tied to recurring stories of phantom figures and unexplained footsteps.

Features

• At Abbey Green, you listen to accounts of phantom footsteps and other strange occurrences said to disturb this otherwise quiet corner.
• Outside the Theatre Royal, your guide introduces the legend of the Grey Lady and explains how performers and visitors have reported encounters with this long-rumoured presence.
• Games and quizzes come into play here, inviting you to test how closely you have listened to the stories so far and to compete with fellow guests.

Royal Crescent

The walk then leads you to the Royal Crescent, one of Bath’s most recognisable landmarks and the backdrop for stories of heartbreak and restless spirits.

Features

• Here you hear the tragic tale of Julianna Popjoy, whose grief and eccentric life have become part of the city’s folklore, along with reports of a phantom carriage linked to the Royal Crescent.
• This stop at the Royal Crescent highlights how grand architecture can be tied to deeply personal stories that linger long after the people involved have gone.

Mary Shelley’s House of Frankenstein and Trim Street

To round off the evening, the route passes Mary Shelley’s House of Frankenstein and continues along Trim Street. These locations connect Bath’s ghostly reputation with one of literature’s most famous Gothic creations.

Features

• As you pass Mary Shelley’s House of Frankenstein, your guide draws a line between Bath’s atmosphere and the enduring fascination with monsters, experiments, and the unknown.
