The ghost tour explores the stories of those who have inhabited the house throughout its history and, who psychics say, can still be heard in its dark hallways today.
Beginning at 7.30pm every Friday, the torch-lit tour is led by a psychic medium whose tales will be sure to make even the bravest visitor’s hair stand on end. The 60-minute tour will end with light refreshments at Gledswood’s cellar door. The beautiful 184-year old building will be sure to excite and intrigue ghost enthusiasts and history lovers alike.
