Absolutely brilliant evening!
The Dark Tales Walking Tour through Scarborough was packed with eerie stories, local history, and a few spine‑tingling surprises. Our guide was fantastic — full of character, humour, and knowledge, bringing each ghostly tale to life with real flair. We did the walk while it was still light, which made it easier to see the sights, but I can only imagine how atmospheric it would be on a darker evening, the perfect setting for those chilling stories. You see Scarborough in a completely different light after this walk. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves history with a twist and a good scare.
