📢 EXETER WALKING FESTIVAL 📢
As part of the Walking Festival taking place from 12th to 20th Sep and offering a wide variety of walks for all skill levels and interests, we have organised another free guided history walk in Exwick.
'Mills & Orchards' will be led by the Exwick Local History group who will be exploring Exwick’s agricultural and industrial heritage.
We will walk through Exwick Mill Field to discuss the agricultural history of the area and the importance of Mallet’s flour mill. We will look at part of the Flow Orchard of newly planted fruit and nut trees. The walk will go into the heart of the village, past old farms to the pub, post office, church and school. We will talk about significant residents who had an impact on village life. Going up Exwick Hill we will learn about activities in the Square connected to the Woollen Mill and factory.
We finish by the parish hall for hot drinks and cake after.☕🍰
Free tickets will be available to book on Eventbrite from Friday 28th August. Limited spaces, please book in advance!
