As is our custom a set of historical research notes will be emailed out to participants after the tour. This will allow you to hold on to what you have picked up from our exploration of Literary Bristol.

A Walk in the Past is a friendly group where regulars and newcomers are always welcome. Our aim is to combine a good walk with like-minded company in historic landscapes.
