Private Stratford-upon-Avon Dark Side Walking Tour
Overview
Step into the shadows of Stratford-Upon-Avon, where the town's darkest secrets and sinister past come to life. From chilling unsolved murders and whispered tales of witchcraft to the horrors of Plague and Civil War, this 1.5-hour tour will reveal the eerie side of the town best known for its famous poet and playwright. But beware—what lurks in the history of Stratford is far darker than you might expect.
