Events

Saturday 19 May 2012 Awayday Walk in Totnes, meeting at Plymouth Railway Station at 11.30am for a 12 noon departure. We will return on the 4.50pm train from Totnes to Plymouth arriving back at 5.30pm.

Come along and join us for a Walk with History through the historic town of Totnes.Starting at Plymouth Railway Station, we will take the train to Totnes. The fare is £3.05. 

The walk will take around 3 to 4 hours to complete and is fairly flat along the whole route with just a few steeper sections. There will be a break for lunch in a local cafe or bring a packed lunch with you. We will be visiting a number of historic buildings for which there is a small charge of £4 payable on the day.

Due to this walk being in a busy town centre, we have a limit to the number of people who can take part.   
To book a place on the walk, please email walkswithhistory@gmail.com.

Please wear suitable clothing and footwear for the weather.

New walkers to our group will also be asked to register and complete a health questionnaire prior to undertaking the walk.
