The map leads the way around what’s described as the “socially distanced Halloween trail” where some form of display – either in a garden or window - can be seen, and perhaps ‘ticked off’ the list.
As reported, it’s the creation of Liam Arscott, pictured, the man behind Bitterne Park’s traditionally most spectacular Halloween display, the Haunted House on the Hill, which last year saw visitors come from as far away as Bournemouth and which raised £1,300 for charity.

This year ghosts and ghouls at the house have been asked to rein things in a bit, and make way for a more modest display, with visitors asked to socially distance and restricted to the pavement, and no ‘walk through’ on offer.
“Each location will either say no contact or treats available on request. Please be respectful of all homeowners wishes,” is the advice on the map - which is here.
