Wheelchair users are welcome. Members of the Guild have devised a route that aims to
minimize discomfort by using the smoothest surfaces, avoiding steep slopes, bumps,
narrow pavements and narrow, busy thoroughfares. Please see our

for more information.
Walks can be arranged at any time of the year and the starting and finishing points
can be planned to suit the convenience of the party.
A few days notice is usually required and we normally allocate one guide per ten people.
Charges - £7.50 per Adult, £1 per young person aged 6 to 17 inclusive and free for all under 6.
Please note that we can only allow assistance dogs on our walks.
Coach parties can unload near the west front of the Cathedral where the group can be met. The coach must leave immediately after unloading - for example to the car park at Merton Meadow.
