Saints, sinners and false diamonds! - discovery walk

Highwaymen colliers and loo ladies; legionnaires suffragettes and Cavaliers; gibbets turnpikes and flying machines: all have played their extraordinary part in the fascinating and hidden past of Bristol’s ‘jewel in the crown’ – the Downs.

Join Clare Reddaway for a stroll through the past as she weaves stories from the rocks and meadows beneath your feet and see the Downs through a lens you’ve never discovered before!

Clare Reddaway's award-winning short stories are widely published. Recent highlights include being long-listed (top 50) for the BBC National Short Story Awards. She creates unusual and original live story events with her company A Word In Your Ear Writing. Clare regularly leads popular story-walks for the Clifton LitFest. A magical way of storytelling.
