The Ghost Walk Padstow
Join our guided ghost walking tour in historic Padstow
Our ghost walks run regularly on evenings throughout the week, with times varying by season. See our booking calendar for current departures, or contact us to arrange a private walk.
Discover Cornwall’s haunted history on this small-group guided ghost walking tour. Accompanied by your 18th/19th-century guide, explore the coastal town of Padstow while listening to tales of merchants and wealthy local family rivalry, visiting a centuries-old coaching inn, the medieval St. Petroc’s Church along and the grand Elizabethan Mansion, Prideaux Place. Learn about paranormal happening in multiple locations across town - from pubs to shoe shops.
News! For the very first time ever, the doors of The Harbour Inn — widely regarded as one of Padstow’s most haunted buildings — will open after hours for a chilling Paranormal Night.
As the pub closes, the public will leave. From that moment on, only ticket holders… and the spirits… remain.
Join paranormal investigator Carl Slaughter and the ‘dead’ merchant Thomas Rawlings as you step into the shadows of this historic inn. Guided investigations, unsettling tales, and the thrill of the unknown await as restless energies stir long after last orders.
⚠️ Strictly limited spaces — advance booking essential.
