Martha brings Warwick’s past to life

5.00Went on the walking tour with Martha today and it was really interesting. Martha keeps things engaging with her enthusiasm and great mix of historical facts and story telling. I drive past some of the sights most days and would never have guessed the stories that lay behind the buildings. Would definitely recommend ( in fact I’ve already told my partner he’d love it!). Thank you Martha

5.00Despite being the hottest day we took in a lot of history and visited many buildings with Martha giving a good commentary as we went round. We did stop a few times to get under shade, take drinks and briefly rest before resuming.
Fantastic tour

5.00Parked at West Rock car park as plenty of spaces and as a bonus, it's not far from where the tour ends. Walked short distance to meeting point where we were met by James, our guide for the morning. James made us feel very welcome and the tour was vey informative as you get to know places you would normally walk past. Would highly recommend and we will be booking another walk. Thank you James!
