About this event

🥾 ABOUT THE WALK 🥾

Join Our Iconic Rugby Walk – Explore History, Art, and Nature!

Discover the charm of Rugby on this scenic 4.5-mile walk, perfect for any time of the year. We’ll pass through the stunning Rugby School buildings, take on the descent down Dunchurch Road Hill, and meander along a quieter path towards Barby Lane, with some sections under starlit skies (bring a torch!). Enjoy the gentle inclines as we head up towards Ashlawn Estate and take in the artistic graffiti along the historic Great Central Way railway. Finally, we’ll wrap up with a stroll through Whitehall Park—don’t miss the chance to play a tune on the park’s quirky xylophone!

It’s a great way to stay active, meet like-minded people, and explore Rugby’s hidden gems. Dogs are welcome, so bring your furry friends along for the adventure!

Why you should join:

  • 👋 The first two walks are FREE.
  • 🍬 Free sweets at the halfway point!
  • 😁 Friendly group, a great way to meet people and dogs

❓ ROUND-ROBIN QUESTION: Name a book you would take to a desert island.

Please arrive by 6.15 pm we will set off at 6.30 pm sharp. If this is your first AG walk, then please arrive nice and early and seek out the friendly walk leader. They will brief you and explain how it all works.
