An excellent spooky evening - We had a fantastic time walking round old Otley with Spindleshanks; who not only filled us in on some of the ancient history of the town but was very witty with it, making us laugh all the way round. Well worth a trip to Otley and if you're at a loose end afterwards I have it on good authority there are twenty four pubs you can visit.

Entertaining evening with a brilliant host - A fantastic way to spend an evening. We learned so much about local spooks and the history of the area from our fantastic host, Spindleshanks McScrew, who made the whole thing really entertaining

Interesting and informative. - Daisy gave an interesting engaging tour which took us down unseen areas and sites around Otley. Didn't realise the history and events which had occurred in this part of Yorkshire and Daisy was great getting this information over despite the drizzly conditions.
