Guided Walks And Tours

Ever tried walking with a friendly, knowledgeable guide? You get to find out all kinds of things you’d never know by following a leaflet. There are a huge variety to choose from too. You can get into the history of our towns and villages, be bowled over by the complexity of our landscape, forage for mushrooms, listen to a dawn chorus and dig about for fossils.

Why not try a led ghost tour in Ludlow, Shrewsbury or Oswestry? You may be led by creepy characters with murky pasts, or follow other historical costumed eccentrics.
