A Sense of Place

Update – 2nd November

Unfortunately, this walk is cancelled –  Frome’s Walking Festival was due to take place on the weekend of Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th November, but due to national lockdown restrictions this is unable to take place.

If you have booked a ticket already we will be in touch, the walks may be rescheduled by the walk leader at a later date.

During lockdown you are able to go out and enjoy the outdoors either with your household or with one other person.  So you don’t need to wait to explore in and around our beautiful town you can download one of our walks from the town walks page.

Part of Frome’s Walking Festival 2020.

A guided walk around Frome that explores the history and folklore behind some of the local place names. We will also be discussing the development of the English language and the history of the town along the way. If you’ve ever wondered why Bath Street is not on the Bath side of town, or what is cheap about Cheap Street, this is the walk for you. Taking in the older parts of Frome we will learn about the origins, real and imagined, of the names of places, streets and pubs of the town.

Led by Frome Town Guide Lisa Kenwright.

All walks are limited to a max. of 6 (5 participants and 1 walk leader) to adhere to the Government covid guidelines.
