Is Llancaiach Fawr Manor haunted?

That’s one of the most frequent questions asked at Llancaiach Fawr. And the answer is… YES! It is.

Previous residents, members of staff and many visitors can all testify to uncanny events and our fame has spread since episodes of TV’s Most Haunted programme and John Sparkes Ghost Story have been filmed here. Experience ‘The Ghosts of Llancaiach’ for yourself.
