Dinton Castle is popular with Chinese tourists and those interested in its 'haunted' history. John Carver, Dinton Castle/InsiderDinton Castle has captured the attention of Chinese tourists, who are excited by the opportunity to stay in an authentic English castle, Carver said. According to local folklore, Dinton Castle is haunted by John Bigg, known as the "Dinton Hermit," who lived underground on the estate until his passing in 1696. But aside from Chinese tourists and supernaturalists, Carver said that Dinton Castle has an appeal for everyone. "It's so unique, and it's not a Windsor Castle," he said.
