Bristol Ghost Walks & History Tours
A thousand-year-old port city accumulates stories, and Bristol's are darker than most: plague pits, press gangs, the gallows at St Michael's Hill, and Blackbeard — Edward Teach, born here before he sailed for the Caribbean. Evening ghost walks take the Old City and King Street; history walks cover the same ground with the archives instead of the lantern.

How much is a ghost walk in Bristol?
Guided evening ghost walks cost £17–£22 per person. Self-guided medieval and haunted audio trails start from about £5.
Was Blackbeard really from Bristol?
Edward Teach is generally believed to have been born in Bristol around 1680, when it was England’s second port. Several walking tours build their route around the pirate and privateer history of the harbour and King Street.
