A thousand years of St Albans, on foot.
The City and District of St Albans Tour Guides Association leads guided walks through the old city, the Roman town of Verulamium and the villages around it — most weekends of the year, whatever the weather.
Walks are £10 per person and must be booked in advance. Children aged 11 and under come free with an adult, except on our ghost walks.
