Guided Village & Town Walks

Over 100 members took part in our 2011 programme that involved visits to 4 locations,namely Buntingford, Gamlingay, Old Stevenage and Wallington. Feedback from participants was very positive. We are very grateful to the local residents who acted as our guides.

This year’s (2012) programme is taking shape and we hope to include trips to Potton, Lemsford, Hinxworth, Codicote and possibly Ashwell during the year

Suggestions for locations and, if possible, potential guides, would be much appreciated.

We ask the guides to point out buildings and places of historic or local interest, giving a flavour of past and present life of the village and challenges for the future during a tour of up to 2 hours.

Check the 'Events' panel to the right to see if we have any immediate outings planned.
