NEW Saturday Tour: Literary Bristol

Samuel Taylor Coleridge launched his career here Thomas Chatterton was fraudulent here Mary Robinson wrote Gothic novels here Robert Southey promoted the Romantic poets here Jane Porter wrote historical fiction here Samuel Pepys was naughty here William Wordsworth published Lyrical Ballads here Daniel Defoe and Robert Louis Stephenson sought inspiration here for their seafaring tales Llewelin Penrose wrote up his memoirs here I'm sure Dickens was here! Our two mile circumnavigation of Literary Bristol will take in all of this and more. As is our custom a set of historical research notes will be emailed out to participants after the tour. This will allow you to hold on to what you have picked up from our exploration of Literary Bristol. A Walk in the Past is a friendly group where regulars and newcomers are always welcome. Our aim is to combine a good walk with like-minded company in historic landscapes.
