York is a city with a dark past, its history is rife with tales of guts, gore, torture and ghosts. The International Ghost Research Foundation once even declared York as the most haunted city in Europe due to its bloodstained history and over 500 hauntings within the ancient city walls.
Founded by Romans in 71AD the city’s violent and volatile history – including Viking invasions, the Norman Conquest and the Civil War – makes its sinister legacy easy to understand. Sometimes it seems as though a ghostly figure with a score to settle is in residence in just about every street or ginnel.
Throughout the year we host a number of events at Sandburn Hall, have a look and see if any are on during your visit.
Get your cowboy hats & boots at the ready and head down to Goodness Farm to visit the sheriffs for the unique alpaca experience.
