Galleywood Heritage Centre Walk - HOD
A guided Historical walk around Galleywood Common with stops at various points of interest. The walk of about 1.5 miles will last between 60 & 90 minutes.
Located on Galleywood Common, the Heritage Centre’s main building is a conversion of the 1920s grandstand from the hey days of horse racing. A ” listening bench” in the grounds has stories from yesteryear from Galleywood residents past & present.
Just outside the Centre’s grounds on Galleywood Common, the track of the old racecourse can be seen. A short walk across the free public car park close by brings visitors to the remains of the Napoleonic era Star Fort Earthworks which has an Interpretation Board.
The walk will follow part of the track of the old racecourse and visit the remains of the earthworks, the exterior of St Michaels Church and more! Sensible shoes and clothing should be worn in case of inclement weather.
There are four bookable walk slots with a limit of five tickets for each.
