Crewe & Nantwich Ghost Walks

Have you ever wondered about the ghostly side of two towns in South Cheshire?

There are now ghost walks for both Crewe and Nantwich year round most Wednesday evenings, alternating between the towns.The Crewe walk embraces a wider, strange history from folklore, town centre hauntings, Victorian murders, The Witch of Coppenhall, to the world famous Spirit Photography of the Crewe Circle of Mediums.The Nantwich walk takes in at least 34 reported ghost sightings, with some macabre Civil War stories, saline superstitions, and all manner of things which go bump in the night (and even day sometimes...).

Both walks have local historical information as part and parcel of their content, and finish with a brief visit to the cellar of a haunted pub - which has been known to give some people a spooky experience.

Booking and advance payment required for both walks; group bookings by arrangement. £5 adults, £4 concessions, £13 family ticket (2 adults, up to 2 children 9 to 16 year).
