  • Ghost Tours Will Return!

    The Ghost Tour season has now ended. However, please see our ‘What’s On’ page for details of Ghost Tour booking availability. Special ghost events with our partners take place throughout the year.  The main season for Ghost Tours is October, November and December. Please note that booking slots for Ghost  Tours sell out quickly, as we are restricted to numbers.

    Due to the nature of the building, Ghost tour Visitors with mobility issues will only be able to access the ground floor of the Manor House.  This is due to Health and Safety legislation and the risk assessment in place.  Bookings of this nature will be at a reduced price due to the shortened tour and must be made by either calling reception on 01443 412248 or emailing llancaiachfawr@caerphilly.gov.uk

    Please note that pre-booking is essential, as admission numbers are limited.

    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. More recently YouTubers Sam and Colby have visited. Experience ‘The Ghosts of Llancaiach’ for yourself.
