Length: 2miles max (GENTLE)
Fee: £15 pp
A very easy, gentle stroll around some of Abergavenny’s green spaces, flowing waters and town. You may know the town or parks but do you know its stories?
We are not just talking about living on the edge of the border lands but people living on the edge of social norms and creating change.
We meet:
Lady Llanover - a formidable sponsor and some would say creator of Welsh culture.
Vulcana the strong woman… no social norms for her.
Mattie the wife of William de Braose - witness to the massacre at Abergavenny castle.
Mary, a previous inmate at the psychiatric hospital who didn’t want to leave.
We have a strong posse of women for you on this stroll with Crawshay Bailey 2nd, the benefactor of Bailey Park, as the rich man who died seemingly in poverty.
The infamous and less well known, all come to life… so many characters in beautiful settings living on the edge. Come and listen to their stories.
