Private Walks

Most of my WALKS are for pre-booked groups (starting at £60 inclusive for up to 20/24 people). However, if you as an individual, or as part of a small group, would like to arrange a walk, do please still feel free to get in touch at oxfordtowpathpress@gmail.com. Or, for £30 for up to five people (lasting 90 minutes or so), you can suit yourself as to start time time and exact route.

Not sure? Please have a look at my (sadly unmaintained!) ‘Customer Comments’ page.

 

TALKS (see Talk topics)

Happy to travel – Assam in India is the farthest away so far ?!

Only one public one at the moment:

Saturday 4 May (Wonderland Day) at St Giles Church, Oxford: ‘Alice’s Adventures in Oxford’, the real people, places and events which inspired the Alice books, and highlighting Lewis Carroll’s less well-known connections with local institutions such as Lucy’s Iron Foundry, St John’sCollege, and a floating chapel on the Oxford Canal. https://www.st-giles-church.org/
