Secret gardens, a witchcraft museum and a ghost bus tour of Edinburgh have been named as the top weird and wonderful attractions in the UK.
A survey conducted by Sykes Holiday Cottages has unveiled Brits' top unusual days out of choice, and the best part is that there are heaps of budget-friendly offerings.
The Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall proved the most popular quirky attraction, thanks to the rare wildlife, ancient woodlands and impressive bamboo tunnels.
Meanwhile, second place went to another Cornish hotspot; the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic. (Think less Harry Potter and more historic artefacts).
Oh, and if you're into your witches and ghosts then the Edinburgh ghost bus tour is sure to be a hit, sharing some of the city's ghoulish tales while offering plenty of sightseeing opportunities.
