Visit one of the most haunted cities in the whole of Europe with this spooky day guide. York was officially voted the most haunted city in Europe by the International Ghost Research Foundation due to its bloodstained history and over 500 hauntings within the remains of the city walls. It's the perfect place for an eerie adventure! I’ve done all of the work for you, meaning you can simply get on with the fun part instead of spending hours doing all the planning.
If you're a horror fan, then you're sure to love a good thrill. All Hunting Horror guides come with an element of surprise—only after you purchase our guide will you find the exact activities of your day trip, and all the gory details you need before you head out of the door.
We aim to remove the monotonous planning and researching stage of travelling while opening up a whole new spectrum of year-round, horror-themed activities to deprived horror fans and Halloween enthusiasts here in the UK. Hell knows, we need them!
This guide includes:
- Spooky or horror-themed locations and attractions to visit (admission fees may apply)
- Easy, affordable, reliable parking locations
- Public transport information
- Well-rated restaurant and café recommendations
- A custom Google map featuring all the locations, for easy navigation
Is this the right product for me?
Do you find planning day trips overwhelming and exhausting? Do you find it hard to find niche locations and attractions when searching for things to do online? Do you hate spending hours of your time trying to plan a spooky trip with friends? Do you love dark tourism, horror, folklore, and ghostly goings-on? If so, this guide is for you!
Why choose this trip?
This trip is ideal for those interested in haunted locations and dark history, plus those seeking an immersive scare attraction all year round. Our York Day Guide also features fun for all of the family, making it ideal for groups of all ages.
Can’t I just get this for free from the internet?
Sure! You can find all this information online, but that’s not the point of these day guides. I aim to take the monotonous task of planning and researching away from your spooky travels, meaning you can simply head out of the door and get on with the fun stuff. We all know that this can sometimes take up hours of your time!
This guide features a huge array of information, including dark tourist and haunted attractions, parking and travel information, restaurant and cafe recommendations (tested by yours truly), and even accessibility information.
Aren’t you just Atlas Obscura with the extra cost?
You can find plenty of spooky things to do on the Atlas Obscura website, but that site won’t provide a full day’s worth of haunting activities and all the information to get you started. We differ from Atlas Obscura because our guides contain travel and parking information, recommended food and drinks venues, accessibility information, and more, so you don’t need to do any of the planning before you go.
Why choose a Hunting Horror guide?
Each Hunting Horror guide has been personally curated and tested by yours truly, a fellow ghoul, to ensure that these day trips fill your creepy cup. Dark tourism is on the rise, and Halloween is becoming more celebrated each year, but it’s often time consuming to find attractions of this nature throughout the UK, different to your usual ‘scare fest’ in October. Whether you’re seeking an extra scare in October, or you simply love a bit of folklore, HH guides contain fantastic horror-themed tourist spots, plus spooky history and dark tourist attractions that you might struggle to find elsewhere.
Does the guide include tickets and venue discounts?
No, unfortunately our guides do not contain entry tickets or discounts to any of the attractions featured. However, there is pricing information and website links to ticket booking sites for extra ease.
