 Historic walking tours, starting from Nantwich Museum

New this year Visitors to Nantwich town centre cannot fail to notice its many historic buildings so this year we are extending our range of attractions to include historic walking tours. The town has a rich and fascinating history going back to Roman times and a wealth of timber framed "black and white" buildings including Churche's Mansion and the Crown Hotel (left).

The walks depart from Nantwich Museum on Pillory Street at 2pm each festival day and will take 1¼hr, the price is £1 per person. For more information and to book a place, please contact the museum on 01270 627104 or email enquiries@nantwichmuseum.org.uk.
