Ghost Tours
Is this place haunted?
That’s one of the most frequent questions at Llancaiach Fawr.
And the answer is...
YES! It is.
Previous residents, members of staff and many visitors can all testify to uncanny events.
Our fame has spread as episodes of TV’s Most Haunted programme and John Sparkes Ghost Story have been filmed here. Our BBC Ghostcam is still very popular and journalists from around the world are eager to feature us.
We also work with South Wales Paranormal Research Group (SWPR) who research reported sights, sounds, smells and feelings (physical and emotional).
Experience The Ghosts of Llancaiach for yourself?
BUT REMEMBER: we don’t fix anything so we can’t guarantee that the House will be active.
Numbers are limited for safety reasons and pre-booking is essential. We do not take children under 16 years of age on Ghost evenings.

Llancaiach Fawr Manor has a long history of paranormal activity and features in a list of the 10 most haunted buildings in the country. It is a semi-fortified manor house originally built in 1530 and is now a Grade 1 Listed Building.
By day the Manor is open to the public and inhabited by costumed interpreters depicting life in 1645, by night, previous inhabitants have often made their presence known…and the details have been recorded!
