Step back in time with the Stow & District History Tour!

Starting in the Square, you’ll hear how Stow has evolved over the centuries, learn about its architecture, and discover how markets shaped the character of the town.

As we stroll through the town, we’ll cover the importance of sheep, transport, brewing, education, the church, and Stow’s role in the English Civil War. The tour is interactive, flexible, and light-hearted, with anecdotes about fascinating local characters to keep it engaging for all.

After the tour, we’ll enjoy refreshments at Lucy’s Tearoom, a charming local café just a short walk from the tour’s final stop. A perfect spot to relax, chat about the day, and enjoy coffee, tea, or light bites. 1x drinks refreshment included in price.
