FREE WALKING HISTORY TOURS OF WYCOMBE 
AND FREE TALKS ON THE TOWN

HISTORY IS MADE IN WYCOMBE

'HISTORY TELLS YOU WHERE YOU ARE GOING AND WHY
HISTORY MAKES YOU SMART. HERITAGE MAKES YOU PROUD'
William Callaway, historian, US Eighth Air Force 

Willie Reid hosts FREE walking tours around the historic town of High Wycombe. 

Today many people might think High Wycombe lacks colour but this town almost certainly has a richer and more interesting history than any other in Buckinghamshire.

Willie is seen here in front of the Brunel Rail Shed on a walk in 2016 which included the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of High Wycombe.

If you post a review for my walks or talks it will appear here

I really enjoyed my walk around Wycombe with Willie Reid. When you see High Wycombe today, you don't realise what a wealth of history the town has. I recommend the walk to anyone who loves the area. PH
