Explorers

Days away with places to explore at our own leisurely pace...

Our aim is to choose a location and go a wandering.

Find the hidden places of interest and lunch venues of course.

No pre-arranged ideas so we would be free to wander in small groups and make our own discoveries.

We could share our knowledge on our return.

We would travel on a car sharing basis, not too far away, or maybe use the bus or train if feasible.

So come and join us and let's just go a wandering

Our first adventure will be at Boston Spa!

Why Explore Boston Spa?

Boston Spa is full of fascinating surprises with, heritage trails, a woodland walk (returning via the high street) and the riverside walk along the banks of the Wharfe.

Would you believe that kingfishers and otters have been seen from the riverside path?

Boston Spa

Did you know that there was once a Gas Works, a Spa Baths and still is a grade II listed dovecote which some historians say was once used as a lockup?

Don’t miss St Mary’s Church!
