Fantastic walking tour with history covering 900 years across 90 minutes. The town's history in relation to the royals, as well as other areas of intrigue were well navigated by our guide, Sam. You don't have to be a royalist to enjoy the tour, and Sam did a great job covering potentially sensitive topics without controversy. I particularly enjoyed the history of the Black Horse Inn, and will be personally be checking to see if it is truly still a 'pub' this afternoon. Good luck in your third year at uni, Sam!

Good overview of the town, some of its history and quirky things (like the blue post box) and recommendations. Timing of walk coincided with changing of the guards at the castle which was great.
