Revealing the Highlights of Hidden Highfields

An evening guided walk to discover the hidden highlights of Highfields will reveal the history and many impressive buildings of an area that is often overlooked and rarely visited.

Led by local historian David Griffiths, author of the much praised, ‘Villas of Edgerton’, the walk will begin at 7.00pm on Thursday 25 July from Cambridge Road Car Park (free after 6.00pm) and will last approximately 1.5 hours.

Highfield’s quiet streets and lanes reveal houses of many styles, from the early 18th century onwards, and traces of many religious faiths and migrant communities that have left their mark on the town, as well as Georgian and Victorian public buildings. David will explore this rich brew and explain how it was developed.

The walks costs £3 per person but no booking is required.
