Discover the Sand House - A Guided Walk (BOOKING ESSENTIAL)

Doncaster once had a unique Victorian marvel, a house carved from sandstone. The Sand House and its tunnels may have disappeared, but the clues to their former existence are still there to be found. See them for yourself on this 90-minute guided walk (BOOKING ESSENTIAL).
This is a walking tour of the locality of the former Sand House led by Richard Bell, a direct descendant of the Sand House's creator, Henry Senior. With the help of old plans and historic images you will discover how the house developed and where it and its tunnels once lay in relation to the modern layout. You will stand directly above the Elephant and Mahout carving, which is the iconic image of the Sand House.
Please note that the walk takes place entirely at ground level and does not enter any tunnels (other than passing through a modern subway!).
Tickets are £5 each, with all proceeds going to The Sand House Charity (Reg. No. 1171875).
