Highly recommended. Kept everyone captivated with ghostly stories! - We went on the tour last night and really enjoyed it. It's the first tour I have been on where the host was in character but also had everyone captivated the whole time so people in the group weren't talking amongst themselves whilst the host was talking. He was very considerate of not only everyone's safety but also making sure we weren't in the way of the public. I would highly recommend the tour but it wouldn't be suitable for people with mobility issues as lots of hills and cobbles. i was surprised not to finish back where we started like we have always done on other ghost walks so had to check with others on the walk as to how to get back to the car as not from the area.

Ghostly goings on in Frome - Three of us did the ghost walk last night (17 April). We enjoyed it very much. The walk guide was in character as the Revd Glanvill. He had a theatre and a presence about him. The Revd was well informed and made the tour very interesting, leaving walkers come to their own conclusions about the mysterious happenings. Also great to get a history of Frome and to understand what lies behind the facade of shops and eateries, but also left some questions unanswered. It was a great tour and an informative and entertaining evening. Thank you!

Well led interesting tour of a lovely town. - This was really interesting tour. Frome has so much to offer as a town, and this added stories and information to what we already knew. One or two chilling tales for sure!

Really enjoyable tour - Really enjoyable tour. The Reverend was great at sharing the history and ghostly experiences of the town. He was very polite and friendly and great at keeping us out of the way of the locals on the narrow streets. Well worth the money and I'd happily go again. Tips if you are going, it's hilly with cobbled streets so wear good shoes, I think in the ran it may be slippy on places. The group moves quickly so not really suitable if you have walking issues but the Reverend was great at stopping for stragglers to catch up. Check ahead to where the tour ends and park there. I didn't know and parked at the starting point. It was a long steep climb back up to the church.

First Ghost Walk but loved the experience - Being a sceptic of ghosts and quite new to Frome I thought why not, it could be interesting. That it was, no ghostly experiences but some great spooky tales and some very good history on the local area. Very well presented from the reverend and although it was way past an hour long I have no complaints at all. Great value for money
