Guided Town Walks of Historic Cirencester

Blackjack Street Cirencester

Join us for a guided town walk of historic Cirencester led by one of our volunteer guides.

Hear about Cirencester’s 2,000 year history from the Romans to the present day and many of the people involved.

Guided town walks are suitable for adults, children and dogs, each walk covers a distance of about one and a half miles and takes 75-90 minutes to complete.

Guided Town Walks

Guided ‘turn-up-and-walk‘ town walks run from April to October.

Meet your guide outside the south porch of the parish church in the Market Square. Just look for the information board (see picture).

Guided ‘turn-up-and-walk‘ town walks start at 2:30pm on the following days:

  • April – Saturdays and Sundays.
  • May, June & July – Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
  • August – Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
  • October – Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Just turn up and walk – no booking required.
