Full description
Discover all the key haunted places in and around Oxford on a nighttime walking tour loosely based on the book 'Haunted Oxford' by local author Rob Walters, just one of the experienced and talented Guides. Experience the best way to 'see' Oxford’s ghosts on a route that takes you around the heart of central Oxford and its University. Meet your guide and get whisked away into the night, starting on the corner of Turl Street and Broad Street, which was once the city ditch and site of terrible murders and religious persecution. Learn about the history of Oxford and hear many splendidly spooky stories dating back to Danish Viking times. Walk past Oxford University, Radcliffe Square, and peer into the Old Schools Quadrangle - of Harry Potter fame. Admire the gorgeous and imposing architecture of Oxford and feel the history in the walls, which are well preserved and represent every period of architecture from Medieval through Classical to modern.  Look up at the Bridge of Sighs, so-called as it is reminiscent of the one at Venice which led prisoners to their doom. Wind down the ancient walled lane to New College, built in the late 1300s, and see its dark gates against the gloom.

I enjoyed every minute, the guide was excellent, he provided a great atmosphere, he is an excellent storyteller, dramatic and with right amount of humor, I highly recommend it, that was my best experience in Oxford and I tried to see all the attractions in 9 days.

Rob was a wonderful guide and storyteller. His tour dove deep into strange corners of Oxford’s history that would be impossible to catch on your own. Highly recommend this tour—it’s even better after you orient yourself to Oxford! Be prepared to laugh, get spooked, and explore the dark side of this historical city.
