Ghost Trail of York

The ghost trail of york is a must see trip if you are staying in the area, it is very reasonably priced at just £4 for adults and £2 for children over the age of 3 when we visited. It starts at £7.30 and is run every evening, we went in winter which added to the spookyness of the night with it already being dark.
