Oxford’s streets have played host to agony and horror, torment and terror. Morbid phantoms of the past stalk shadowy recesses in colleges, condemned to rehearse their lamentable ordeals for all time. The ‘Dreaming Spires’ is a place of nightmares.
Join the Oxford Ghost Walking tour to hear stories of Oxford's bleakest moments in University history and its ghosts and phantoms that roam the famous buildings. Tours last for approximately 1 hour 15 minutes and are conducted by guides who are local experts and University graduates with many years' experience of conducting walking tours.
Tours run throughout the year and start at either 4.00pm or 7.30pm depending on the season.
