For over thirty years, Bob has led thousands of people around Totnes and the surrounding area, sharing with them a lifetime’s knowledge of local history, folklore and creative associations.
Totnes Ghost Walk
Every Tuesday from Easter or the beginning of April (whichever comes first) to Hallowe’en. Any other time, and throughout the winter, by arrangement.
Wander the streets of the old town and hear about its ghosts, folklore and legends. Meet at the Albert Inn for an 8pm start. The walk ends approx. an hour and a half later near the top of High Street, with a choice of pubs in which to finish the evening.
Adults £5, accompanied children (under 18) £3. (Cash only, please). Well-controlled dogs on leads welcome.
Other walks available for parties of half a dozen or more, for the same price, at a time of your choice (though we wouldn’t recommend midday on a Friday or Saturday!), starting and finishing wherever it suits you.
Totnes History Walk
Offers an overview of the town’s story, from its Saxon foundation onwards, looking at its significant buildings and features.
Literary Totnes Walk
Discover some of the writers who have lived in or passed through Totnes, see where they went and hear the words they wrote about it.
Totnes LGBTQIA+ Heritage Walk
Devised for Totnes Pride in 2016, and repeated in 2018.
Walks Through Local Lanes and Footpaths
Contact Bob to discuss your ideal walk, visiting such important local sites as Dartington Hall or the famously haunted Berry Pomeroy Castle. Prices will vary according to time and distances, and will not include entrance to the English Heritage-run castle.
