Minehead Ghost Walks

at Extours UK Ghost Tours

Available from Thu 22 Jan to Thu 31 Dec

History, Hauntings & Somerset’s Hidden Shoreline Tales

Minehead sits on a coastline shaped by tides, traders and centuries of whispered legends. From its medieval church paths to its harbourfront shadows, the town holds stories that have lingered through storms, wars and countless passing generations.

Minehead Ghost Walk highlights:

Each walk guides guests through some of Minehead’s most characterful spots, sharing tales rooted in local memory — strange happenings, unexplained traditions, maritime mysteries and the quieter stories of ordinary lives shaped by the past. Along the way, subtle paranormal techniques help illuminate the lingering energies and unanswered questions that define so many of these tales.

This isn’t just a guided walk, it’s a chance to become part of the mystery. Guests are invited to use authentic ghost-hunting equipment, including:

  • EMF meters to detect electromagnetic anomalies
  • Dowsing rods to trace unseen energies
  • Spirit communication tools used in real investigations

Whether visitors join the tour as believers, sceptics or simply those curious about Minehead’s past, the experience remains atmospheric rather than frightening. The focus is on engaging storytelling, authentic history and a sense of wonder rather than shocks or scares. Every walk is designed to be accessible, inclusive and suitable for all ages.

  • Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Meeting point:

With each step through Minehead’s dusk-lit streets, guests are invited to explore the town’s deeper story — one where history and mystery meet, and where the past feels close enough to touch.

More Info
Are Extours wheelchair accessible?

Extours is generally accessible, but not all specific tours are wheelchair-friendly, so you should contact them directly to confirm accessibility for the specific tour you are interested in. While the company strives to accommodate guests with accessibility needs and can sometimes offer short diversions, there are instances where their walks are not possible for wheelchair users.  

Are under 16s allowed to join on the ghost walks?

Yes under 16s are welcome to join on the earlier of the walks available. They recommend an age of 10+ due to the paranormal side which can prove scary for younger ones. That said, if your little one is particularly brave then they can allow slightly younger.

Are dogs allowed on Extours walks?

Generally speaking, yes, dogs are welcome to join. However there are a couple of locations where they pass through areas where dogs are not allowed. In this case you would be required to take a small diversion.
