Last year, the group lead walks which explored topics including Leamington's Imperial history, A Walk Back in Time, Secret Leamington, Leamington's Best Sights, Menage a Trois: An architect, engineer, and an aviary and Leamington Railway Station.
One of our most popular walks was Time for a Pee: Leamington's time pieces and public conveniences.
