A Delightful Afternoon of Heritage and Nature
As part of the Chiltern Society Heritage Festival, a guided walk along the Wendover Canal was organized, followed by a delightful cream tea at Halton Tennis Club.
This event – held on 16th September – was a wonderful opportunity for members to explore the stretch of the newly upgraded Wendover to Halton towpath between Halton and The Wides, made accessible to all, including those with mobility aids.
The upgrade was generously funded by the HS2 Chiltern AONB Review Group, Wendover Parish Council, Lionel Abel-Smith Trust, Wendover Community Board and Halton Parish Council
The walk was not only a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather but also an educational journey through the rich history of Halton.
Participants learned about the origins of Halton and its significant role with the RAF.
The sunny day saw 20 enthusiastic members of the Chiltern Society from various areas come together, all of whom appreciated the well-organized afternoon.
To further engage the community, copies of the Wendover newsletter were distributed after the walk.
This initiative aimed to encourage more people to join the Wendover Canal Trust and support the preservation and enjoyment of this historic waterway.
The event was a resounding success, blending heritage, nature, and community spirit in a perfect afternoon.
We look forward to more such enriching experiences in the future!
