Visitors and residents can learn more about the history of Leamington on new free guided walks around the town.

Leamington History Group launched the walks this week and they are aimed at both residents and visitors who want to find out more about Leamington’s fascinating history during a leisurely, social, stroll.

The new walks have themes and are focused on different elements of the town including its imperial history and Jephson Gardens among others.
