Ghost Tours 2024
Dare you join a chilling tour of the most haunted parts of the castle? Listen as your storyteller tells tales of ghosts and apparitions, leading the way through the castle, with a few surprises and scares along the way.
- Booking essential
Many of the historic houses that the National Trust look after, have their fair share of dark and grisly tales and Dunster Castle is no exception with many reports of ghostly sightings and sensations.
Each ghost tour will be led by a series of guides who will relay a wealth of haunted tales from the castle’s long and fascinating history including recent sightings of mysterious apparitions and reports of loud marching footsteps in areas of the castle known to be empty. Get ready to be scared, who knows what you may find in the dark?
