Secrets of Wood Street Walking Tour - Part 1
Advertisement
This is the first of 2 guided walks led by qualified guide Joanna Moncrieff as part of the Wood Street (Walthamstow) Festival on 6th June.
About this Event

On this circular walk which traverses some of the area known at one time as 'On the Forest' we will seek out evidence of lost pubs, a lost film studio and a lost mansion. We will walk down a path which dates back several centuries, visit a churchyard with some fascinating stories to tell and find a hidden mural and a hidden garden.

Some of this walk covers uneven ground and forest paths so please wear appropriate shoes.

NB: Joanna is leading two walks on 6th June. This walk is Part 1 and starts at 11am. Book for the 2pm walk (a different route) here.
