Taunton Ghost Walk

About this event

Discover Taunton's darker past on an atmospheric ghost walk exploring the stories, conflicts and long-standing accounts that have shaped the town's reputation for the unexplained. From the days of the Monmouth Rebellion to the legacy of "Hanging Judge Jeffreys," Taunton's history is filled with moments that many believe still echo through its streets. Guided by an experienced Extours host, you'll hear researched tales of reported sightings, local legends and unusual events recorded over the centuries. Guests may choose to join the optional paranormal investigation using EMF meters, dowsing rods and other recognised tools, or simply enjoy the storytelling as the route unfolds. Our walks never rely on gimmicks or jump scares — we explore history and mystery in a way designed to leave you intrigued, not frightened. Age Guidance – Early walks are family-friendly and open to under-16s (recommended age 8+). – Later evening walks are 16+ to offer an adults-only experience. Weather Events run in most conditions. If severe weather makes the walk unsafe, we will postpone and offer an alternative date. Rooted in Taunton's unique history and delivered with Extours' interactive approach, this ghost walk offers a compelling way to experience the town after dark.
