Tragedies Tour

Come and hear stories of those who met sad, shocking and untimely ends.

This tour traverses some of the older parts of the story where historic headstones mark the stories of lives lost too soon: accidents, murder, misadventure and those who fell by their own hand.

Health & Safety

This tour contains a number of adult themes and some graphic descriptions so is not suitable for everyone. Please dress appropriately for the conditions. While we do our best to guide you on a safe walking route, during the winter months the ground can become slippery in places. Some of our walks require a moderate degree of fitness and are not suited for those with limited mobility.

Please wear good shoes and dress for the weather. The tour may be cancelled in bad weather.
