Yes, lots! We sell a handy fold-out map for £1 where these are all clearly illustrated. There are many other walks in and around the village. Most are signposted. People like to walk up to Mompesson’s Well, Riley Graves and/or the Boundary Stone. Walking around the village and reading the plaques on the houses is a special experience. There are other books and booklets available to buy at the museum and at other shops in the village.
