Every summer, we are delighted to run this award winning festival of immersive historical discovery. Where instead of reading about history or watching documentaries about history, you go outside and walk to the places where our history happened.
Have the stories brought to life in their natural setting. And you even get to stick your fingers in the bullet holes!
In 2026 we kept in old favourites, but also responded to your feedback and added in a load of new ones.
Below are the routes we did this year. The itinerary for 2027 will be announced in March 2027.
Multiple Booking Option
We also offered a ROVER TICKET for people wishing to book themselves on to multiple walks. You can book up to five walks at a time for a discounted price. This was a great success and we will be running this next year too.

Are these walks any good?
Well here are a couple of ways of deciding for your self.
Firstly, we are very proud to announce that for two years running we have been recognised with awards.
Probably a better indicator of how enjoyable these walks are, is to look at what people who took part in them had to say.
We are truly humbled that every single review we’ve had to date on TRIPADVISOR (and there are 38 of them) rate us as “EXCELLENT” with five-stars.
Here are some examples…
Testimonial snippets
“We received a wealth of information about the area’s history”
“I find it easy to recommend these history walks because Graham’s extensive knowledge, enthusiasm, and delivery, combined with the relaxed, informal pace, make it a very enjoyable experience”
“Thoroughly enjoyable day, paced just right and taking in places and views I wouldn’t otherwise have seen”
See you next year…
