Discover the extraordinary people behind the elegant facades of, “The handsomest suburb in Europe” (John Betjeman).
Fabulous buildings, scenery and stories: a jilted barmaid’s brush with death; a runaway Empress; the only forger sentenced to death to keep his head and get it on a banknote; the Georgian terrace that housed the Holy Grail, a fascinating churchyar; plus Keith Floyd’s first restaurant; and Eddie Shoestring’s Clifton pad.
Proper History.
Starting and ending in the village, Clifton will never look the same again.
2 hours, mainly on the flat but a couple of sets of steep steps including down from Royal York Crescent.
