Pluckley: England's Most Haunted Village

Pluckley: England's Most Haunted Village - Chills Just an Hour from London

Calling all ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts! Have you ever dreamt of venturing beyond the typical London ghost tours and exploring a place truly brimming with spectral activity? Then look no further than Pluckley, a quaint village in Kent nicknamed "England's Most Haunted."

A Haunting Reputation

Pluckley earned its spooky title thanks to a reported record-breaking 12 (or possibly even 14) resident ghosts! While the Guinness World Records no longer recognizes this category, Pluckley's reputation persists. From a lovelorn lady who poisoned herself to a phantom highwayman and a spectral coach, the village boasts a chilling collection of local legends.

A Spooky Stroll Through History

The village itself is a picturesque escape from the bustling city, nestled amidst the idyllic Kent countryside. But beneath its beauty lies a history ripe for hauntings. Take a walk down Dering Woods, rumored to be haunted by a screaming schoolmaster, or visit St Nicholas' Churchyard, said to be the domain of the weeping Red Lady.

Plan Your Paranormal Pilgrimage

Pluckley is an easy day trip from London, just over an hour by train from Charing Cross or London Bridge stations. While you won't find it on most traditional London ghost walks, a quick web search for "Pluckley ghost tours" will unearth local guides offering spooky explorations of the village.

Beyond the Ghosts

Even if you're a skeptic, Pluckley's charm extends beyond the paranormal. Explore the quaint village lanes, admire the beautiful countryside, and maybe even take a peek at the filming locations for the TV series "The Darling Buds of May."
