A Halloween break is a great way to take the spookiness of this ghoulish day to the next level, and you won’t find many places freakier than the Great British capital cities.
Here we look at just some of the scary activities on offer in these cities so you can decide which one you want to head to for a UK Halloween break to remember.
London
There are plenty of places in London that are rumoured to be haunted, and where better to visit on Halloween that the Tower of London? A great attraction all year round, the Tower is said to be home to a whole host of ghosts, plus you can see the axe used in the last public beheading in 1747.
A trip to Hampton Court Palace can also be a creepy one as it is said to be home to the Screaming Lady, the Grey Lady, and an apparition called Skeletor. In addition to this, Henry VIII’s wife Jane Seymour’s heart is buried under the alter there and people has claimed to have seen her ghost wandering around holding a candle.
Cardiff
Spend your UK Halloween break in Wales and you can visit Cardiff Castle where ghosts of horse and carriages have been spotted in the courtyard. You will also be able to watch a scary film in the Halloween cinema being set up beneath the castle where there are film choices for both adults and families to choose from.
Don't forget to drop into Britain’s most haunted museum, St. Fagan’s, where you can choose to go on a nighttime ghost walk through the lanes and buildings where you will be told true stories of creepy things that have happened there.
Edinburgh
Often called Britain’s most haunted city, Edinburgh is the place to go if you’re hoping to spot some ghosts and ghouls during your UK Halloween break. Start your day with a trip to the Edinburgh Dungeons where you will be taken on an 80 minute tour of the city’s dark history, and then head to the sinister South Bridge vaults which were only reopened a few years ago.
Choose from these spooky UK destinations for a Halloween break and you won’t be disappointed!
