The Experience

Gloucester Cathedral, College Court and Greyfriars Priory anchor the route, but the walk also takes in The Folk (the meeting point at 99-101 Westgate Street, three buildings from 1509 that once housed a funeral directors, a merchant's house and a pharmacy), Dick Whittington, The Old Crown, Bishop Hooper at St Mary's Gate, and St Mary De Crypt. The guide walks the group through the city center, stopping at each site to explain what happened there and what the guide has documented during paranormal investigations on the same spots.

You'll carry a laser grid pen and a motion sensor light ball during the walk: tools the guide uses to demonstrate how paranormal investigation works on location. The meeting point is outside The Folk on Westgate Street. Parking is available at The Westgate Street Car Park (postcode GL1 2SZ). The tour runs for around two and a half hours and is wheelchair accessible, though the route involves walking through city streets and historic sites. Public transportation options are nearby if you prefer not to drive.

This is a shared group tour with a live English-speaking guide. If you'd prefer a private tour tailored to your group, the operator offers that as a separate booking through their website.
