About

Pick up and drop off at the War Memorial, Castle Gardens, 33 Castle Street, Lisburn.

Learn about the Barbour family and the important role they played in founding the area. We'll also visit what's often referred to as the most haunted road in the UK, the site of the gallows, and other stories of murder, mystery and intrigue. 

You'll also hear my own ghostly stories as we pass my childhood home, which is no doubt what piqued my interest in the paranormal.

Tours start at 7.20pm from the war memorial in front of Castle Gardens.

It will last approximately 2 hours.

Lisburn Bus station and Lisburn train station are less than a 10 minute walk from our meeting place. 

Parking should be available along the street.

Tours include a boo brew & biscuit (tea/coffee/water/juice) 

We will have a toilet stop along the route.

Recommended for 12 years and over, but it is at the parents/guardians discretion.

Adult - £16

Child (12-17) - £14
