I've done all of the work for you, adding all the details into these guides that you would need to figure out when planning any day trip, meaning you can simply get on with the fun part.

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?
If you love morbid history, dark tourism, and learning about the gruesome goings on of the medieval period, then this day guide is ideal for you. The Eyam Day Guide focuses on the village’s heritage, and the brutal plague, also known as the Black Death, which annihilated communities across the globe in the mid 1600’s.
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.
