Explore one of the city’s least known open spaces but one packed with wonderful historical sites including St Martin’s Church and a WW2 underground battle headquarters. From Prehistoric stone hand axes, a medieval water supply, strange gravestones and a cold war bunker this walk covers 500,000 years of Canterbury’s history.
This is a cross country walk on footpaths which may be muddy and slippery.
Please note that all walks will go ahead unless cancelled by the walk leader due to extreme weather. If this is the case all bookers will be contacted in advance. Walks primarily take place outside, as such we encourage participants to wear appropriate clothing including waterproofs, walking boots and walking sticks if required. Tickets for walks are non-refundable unless an event is cancelled.
