Based on Bert Stafford’s guide A Stroll Round the Old Village, this is a walk about our homes, the pieces of history scattered unseen around us, the gossip, all from one of our finest oral historians. A perfect blend of local history describing how our buildings, farms and people evolved into the unique village we now see.

Where?

In the historic village of Geddington. Its Roman and pre-Roman roads, its ancient bridge, its Saxon/Norman church have seen the visits of dozens of royals and was a home to some of the most important figures of medieval England. Its forgotten importance capped by the finest remaining Eleanor Cross, commissioned by a bereft man, Edward I, for his beloved wife.

The Walk

Our 2 mile, 90 minute walk will take us from prehistory to modern day, with examples of a millennia of eras scattered throughout our village. It will begin, as Bert’s walking tour began, near the Geddington Village Sign off the A4300 at the beginning of Bridge street (or meet me by the Village Hall Parking area 10 minutes before the start of the walk). It will end at the Star Pub, round the corner from the White Hart Pub and a short stroll over the bridge to the Cafe Oak. All are highly recommended.

Regardless of length, £5 for adults, £3 for children between 10 and 17. Children under 10 free.
