Situated in the heart of Gloucestershire stands St Briavels Castle.

Erected in early 12th century by Henry II, St Briavels is surrounded by deep and rich forests. These forests were the exclusive hunting grounds for royalty and elite, and were heavily security protected as a result.

During the reign of Edward I the castle was used as a crossbow and armoury weapons factory, with manufacturers utilising local iron ore, hence producing the finest ammunition against Welsh and Scottish soldiers.

The castle is believed to be actively haunted by so many spirits that its owners have quit counting just how many there are! 

Many visitors report sighting the full spectrum apparition of a little blonde haired spirit girl who wearing a white pretty dress.

In their Solar Room, during excavations, the small wrapped remains of a baby fell from the ceiling rafters and many have heard the unmistakable sound of a child crying in this room even today!

In the old Hangings Room where many were dragged and hung, the muffled sound of voices arguing have been heard accompanied by dragging sounds.

Others state witnessing a dark malevolent entity wearing a full armour suit which even gleams the moons reflection and has been caught on cameras.

Now a functioning hostel accommodation this property is unavailable for public entry at present. Let's just hope guests here are having a peaceful stay.
