This is a walking tour through Devonshire, seeing parts of the Island you normally don't get to visit and taking in places of cultural interest and beauty. The distance is around five miles (2.5 hours) and so is not suitable for strollers. Cold refreshments, donated by John Barritt & Son Ltd, will be served at a rest area and at the finish you just have to bring your own drink container. The walk starts at Elliot Primary School on Hermitage Road at 2pm and ends at the same place. Participation is free, although donations are appreciated.
