Walkers outside St Marys Acton prior to the walk (1)

“Tea at The Tower” guided walks are proving a big hit from St Mary’s Church on Monks Lane in Acton, writes Jonathan White.

The most recent walks took place on Sunday March 6 in sunny weather and attracted 55 walkers and two dogs.

There were two walks: a 4.1 mile route with no stiles led by Keith, and a 5.2 mile route, with stiles, led by Nick and Caroline.

Both walks included towpath sections of the Shropshire Union Canal and the Llangollen Canal and went past Hurleston Locks.

Participants enjoyed a cake, drink and chat afterwards in Acton church.

For future walks, all are welcome, including dogs on leads. Donations are gratefully received.

All walks start from St Mary’s Church, Acton at 1pm. Meet for 12.45pm at the church.

For those who wish to indulge in cake and a drink, walkers will be back in time to visit the Acton Church ‘Tea at the Tower’ community café.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

  1. There are very few “styles” of walking unless you’re John Cleese!
