"Picture-perfect parkland and historic gardens belie this border stronghold’s fearsome reputation; founded as a monastery in the late 12th century and rebuilt as a heavily fortified castle after a 1296 Scottish raid, it has hosted figures like King Edward I and even shelters a rare herd of wild white cattle. Often billed as England’s most haunted castle, with over a hundred alleged ghosts, it invites guests to linger in the chapel where two men’s voices are often heard in quiet conversation. A full slate of ghost tours and hunts is on offer, with the option to book a three-course meal in the Minstrels’ Hall." - Nicole Kliest
