Wymondham Ghost Tours
Wymondham: is it the most haunted town in Norfolk? They say Wymondham is home to more than just history…ghostly sightings, untold mysteries, and restless spirits. A town where the past refuses to rest.
Steeped in history, Wymondham was established in Anglo-Saxon times and was notable enough to be mentioned in the Domesday book! With riveting stories of hard working people, rebels, and arson, there’s bound to be a few ghosts. Join Wymondham Ghost Tours for an entertaining combination of history and haunts. You’ll learn about the history of Wymondham, some of its ghostly residents, and how to use important ghost-hunting tools like an EMF detector. Come see for yourself, this is a Norfolk attraction you don’t want to miss – Wymondham is waiting, and so are its ghosts…book here
