Illustrated History Walks
The group history walks for 2024 have all been completed now, but ... they will be back in 2025! We also offer walks which can be booked for families, couples, groups and societies which can be booked at a time to suit you. Please visit the bespoke walks page for more info.
All walks start and finish at the Heritage Centre and the ticket includes refreshments on return. The walks are at a gentle pace and we stop along the way at regular intervals to share photographs of what the town was like at different points in history. The walks happen on a Friday evening and are then repeated on a Sunday morning.
NEW - We want to make sure that everyone can access the history of the town and some people have said that although they would love to come on a walk, they are worried about keeping up or about being too slow for the group . In light of this we are now offering 'seated walks'! Book a place and then come along to the Heritage Centre where the same information and images from each walk will be shared - along with a cuppa - all in the comfort of a chair! Just £5 per person
