Britain's most haunted castles in 7 days
Seven castles with the most documented hauntings, walked in a week.
Every castle in Britain has a ghost story; some have dozens. We've picked seven where the documented hauntings are not just well-attested but central to the visitor experience — guided ghost tours run regularly, paranormal investigators have produced television documentaries, and the spectral residents have entered local folklore. Whether you believe or not, the seven make a remarkable week's tour of medieval architecture and Victorian sensibility.
