The walk is mainly flat through the Cathedral, Fargate and Tudor Square area, with a moderate incline at the beginning up to the Cathedral area. Toilet stops with accessible toilets are en-route if needed and at the end of the walk there will be refreshments available in local establishments.For 2026 we will be adding optional "EXTRA TIME" to our walks.This means that attendees can optional take some EXTRA TIME for no extra cost.
