Guided Town Walks of Historic Cirencester
Our schedule of walks for 2026 will start again in April (please see below).
If you would like to book a private walk during the winter period, you can still do this (please see below).
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 (only when accompanied by an adult) and dogs, each walk covers a distance of about one and a half miles and usually takes between 75-90 minutes to complete.
