Walk Description:

Join us for an easy and interesting walk with a little local history along the way.

Our route takes us past four blue plaques celebrating people with fascinating connections to the area:

• Heywood Hardy• Maurice Craig• Stanley Holloway• Edith Ayrton and Israel Zangwill

We’ll also pass several other houses of historical interest, giving us plenty to discover and talk about as we walk.

This is a gentler walk, perfect if you enjoy getting outside, keeping active and exploring the local area at the same time.

Places are limited to just 10, so book early to secure your place.

Walking Levels Explained

Easy – Up to 2.5 to 3 mph 

Ideal for casual walkers who enjoy conversation along the way. These walks are mostly flat, and any hills will be tackled slowly and gently.

Moderate – 3 to 3.5 mph

A steady pace that may lead to slightly heavier breathing, particularly on inclines. Suitable for those looking for a bit more of a workout.

Challenging – 3.5 to 4 mph

Suited for experienced walkers who enjoy pushing their pace. These walks may include longer durations (2+ hours), steeper inclines/declines, or uneven terrain. Though challenging, there will be moments to catch your breath, usually on flat or downhill sections.

Note: We never leave anyone behind. The walk leader makes sure everyone is looked after.
