Overview

Meet the Butcher by the Castle Gates and keep your wits about you as she guides you around the famously haunted streets of medieval Skipton.

A town full of history, there's something for everyone here. Tourists and Skipton residents alike are likely to fall in love with the town for all its ghastly ghouls.

Learn about haunted pubs, churchyards, canals, and of course, the castle. This tour celebrates Skipton's residents throughout the years: Kings, Queens, Knights, witches, peasants, butchers, and of course... sheep!

The tour has been praised for being appropriate for people from all walks of life, young and old. Everyone loves a good ghost story, after all...

From the creators of the appraised Otley Ghost Tour, double the spirit with Turnip Fish Theatre Company's second ghost tour. Does Skipton really contain a ghost in every building...? Book your tickets now to find out!

    Activity name

    City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
