Walking in Bradford on Avon
The Bradford on Avon Tourism Association is pleased to offer guided walks for groups.
The walks can be tailor-made to suit your group’s needs. The full route does include some steady climbs, but we do have an alternative flat easy route.
Our guides have many years experience and their informative narration tells the story of Bradford on Avon’s history from the Roman occupation to the present day. There are many fine buildings including a 10th century Saxon Church and a medieval monastic grange complete with an impressive tithe barn.
The full tour will costs £5.00 a head and the easy route £4.50 per head. It is sometimes possible to do a split group if very large numbers.
