Exwick Roots & Shoots Guided History Walk

Join us on Tuesday 28th April 2026 for the Exwick Roots & Shoots walk. This will be a gentle guided walk where you will hear stories and curious facts about Exwick's old plant nurseries and market gardens, including exotic plants - melons and magnolias, plant theft - crime & punishment, and allotments and orchards - linking past and present growing activities.
