Help! Somewhere to take my Bedford friends

Hi folks,

Tomorrow I'm going on an outing with some friends. They want to go somewhere of spiritual or psychic interest - a daytime visit, I guess. I can't drag them as far as the places I know, or else I'd take them to Waylands Smithy, Avebury or Beaulieu Abbey.

Any suggestions for Bedford / Northampton area spookies please?

Thank you so much in advance!

love and light

BV 🙂

RE: Help! Somewhere to take my Bedford friends

Sorry you've had no response so far, BV. Best I can come up with is a link to the Tourist Board:

[link= http://www.aboutbritain.com/counties/northamptonshire.asp ]http://www.aboutbritain.com/counties/northamptonshire.asp[/link]

Plenty of stately homes, so you might encounter a resident ghost or two, and these places usually have nice home-made eats. At least you'd all be warm and dry 🙂

You could try a similar search on Bedfordshire ... and hope that other HPers have some bright ideas.

Hi Patrick

I've been racking my brains all afternoon to try and think of somewhere to recommend to you but without success. Of course, in Bedford you have the John Bunyan museum and chapel but, truth to tell, I don't find it all that inspiring.

I had a good look through my atlas, Touring Guide but couldn't come up with any place of spiritual interest around Bedford/Northampton.

Sorry - maybe you should just get in the car and see wherre it takes you! Hope you have a good day anyway.

Much love

I was going to suggest Houghton House(Old Ruins near Amptill)but I found a website [link= http://www.discoverbedfordshire.co.uk ]www.discoverbedfordshire.co.uk[/link]and if you click on Issue 2 Autumn 2004 you will find an article entitled A Haunted County. You might get an idea from it even if it is only lunch in a haunted pub!

Thank you so much for your suggestions, folk!
Lunch has turned into tea-and-dinner, so we're going to do an outing tomorrow instead of today. So I've plenty of time to look through your suggested leads.

Thanks, love and light
BV xx
