The Ghost Walks

Twilight creeps through the narrow alleyways and hidden courtyards of the old, old city. Its gnarled fingers unlock ancient secrets of dark deeds that lie entombed behind crumbling walls. It whispers into the shadowy recesses of a forgotten part of Norwich, disturbing the sleep of the long departed, and the City of the Dead stirs once more into ghostly, ethereal life.

Experience the highly acclaimed tour on foot as you walk through the ancient and mystical streets of the City of Norwich. Our guides have been thrilling visitors since 1997 with the real-life stories of macabre goings-on, hauntings and the tragic events of yester-year.

Ghost Walks of Norwich will take you to many famous places noted for their strange events. Apart from experiencing first hand the charm of this wonderful city and its beautiful buildings, you can sample the atmosphere and imagine the situations that set the stage for so many strange events that have been so well documented.
