‘Hooky’ beer is known around the world, but this edge-of-the-Cotswolds village is a hidden gem bursts with stories and fantastic sights.

A 90-minute walking tour around the village of Hook Norton where you'll learn about about fascinating and varied history.Pyramids: the spectacular towers that carried the railway to Hooky were called the 'Oxfordshire pyramids'. But the trains mostly carried powder, not people.Pals: Henry VIII was so annoyed with one ex-drinking mate that he visited the village to tell him off. Other groups of pals sharpened their arrows in the church porch.Pioneers: take your pick from religious dissidents, new treatments for mental illness (you had to be mad to come to Hooky at one time) or today's environment. Hooky has won awards for its low-carbon community.Tours run for 90 minutes, starting and finishing at Hooky Brewery where you could stop for lunch and stay for an brewery tour (remember to book for both).Please click on the 'Select A Date' button to book.The £14 ticket price includes Eventbrite's fee: you won't pay more.

What about COVID?I follow government and industry COVID-19 guidelines. The group will be able to maintain social distancing on this outdoor walk. I am certified as a member of the 'We're good to go' scheme.
