Do you believe in ghosts? England is a haunted country and along the iconic Henley Reach of the River Thames there are plenty of Ghostly Tales from the Riverbank to be told! So, don’t be frightened… join us for a ghost walk and discover Henley’s infamous murderous woman, the Phantom of Regatta Island, and more.

Our 7-mile route takes us from historic riverside market town of Henley along the Thames Path National Trail to Mill End, returning on the opposite bank via Greenlands and Fawley Court. We walk at a moderate pace with plenty of stops for some ghostly tales along the way.
