Cirencester Rotary Club and Cirencester Civic Society joined forces to lead three walks as part of Cirencester Town Council’s Wellbeing week on Tuesday 14th June 2022. We hope this event will run again in future – watch this space to find out more.
The Rotary Club and Civic Society said, “Exercise your body and mind as you learn about some of Cirencester’s rich history on one of 3 walks of varying duration. Further information will be available at the Rotary gazebo in the Market Place before your walk.”
