Four of them, named with permission, from walks across the last two seasons.
I have lived here twenty-six years and Peg took us down four passages I did not know existed, one of which comes out behind my own dentist. She also settled an argument my husband and I have been having about the Bear Steps since 2009.

Owen let my son hold the longbow at Battlefield church and he has talked about nothing else since. Two and a half hours and a nine-year-old did not once ask how long was left, which I would call conclusive.
We booked the private walk for my mother turning eighty and asked whether they could go slowly and sit down twice. They had already planned both, plus a bench I did not know about behind St Julian’s, and nobody was made to feel like a nuisance.

“Seventy-five minutes and I will never again walk up Mardol without looking above the fascias. Isla has photographs of what each sign looked like in 1904 and holds them up in front of the wall.”
★★★★★
“Twenty of us, average age about seventy-two, and they had worked out the bench stops before we arrived. Not one person was left behind or made to feel slow.”
