Walk and discover the hiddern gems of Southwell!

Walk 1: Workhouse to Minster
This walk starts at the best preserved workhouse in England, and after walking briefly alongside a pretty river, it pauses at the imposing Caudwell's Mill before heading towards the splendid Burgage
Green, once home to Lord Byron. The walk then takes in the interesting and bustling town centre, passing the infamous Saracen's Head before circling the distinctive Southwell Minster, with its unusual 'pepperpot' spires (1.5 miles).

Walk 2: Minster to Well
Heading away from the Minster, this walk pauses to look at Vicar's Court, and then takes in the splendour of Southwell's prebendal houses, many of which are Grade II listed. The prebends were once home to archbishops and canons, who acted as lords of the manor, taking rent and income from the local people. The walk then continues to
the home of the first Bramley apple tree,
before ending at the well which is alleged to have given Southwell its name (0.75 miles)

Walk are suited to all ages. Both walks are wheelchair and buggy friendly.
