| Spooky Britain |

With Hallowe'en around the corner, it's time to feel the fear in Britain. The nation has a rich and often grisly history, which means plenty of ghouls and plenty of ghost stories. From vampires created in seaside towns to witches burnt at the stake that are still haunting the land, here are ten ways to make sure you get the chills on your trip
(Hope Street Shivers, Liverpool, north-west England) Tales of the Black Plague, the house where Hitler’s brother hid and even John Lennon’s house all feature on this 75-minute walking tour along Hope Street in central Liverpool. The tour ends at the cemetery of the Gothic Anglican cathedral, a place to chill the bones of even the most committed ghost-buster.
(Glamis Castle, Angus, Scotland) One of the most haunted castles in Scotland, Glamis was the childhood home of the Queen Mother. According to legend, the castle is cursed because an ancestral chalice was once removed from the house, where it was supposed to stay forever. The ghost of a servant boy lurks by the Queen’s bedroom, while the grounds are haunted by a mutilated woman and, somewhere in a secret room, the ghost of Earl Crawford gambles with the devil.
