Outings
SEVEN WALKS LOOKING AT ABINGDON’S BUILDINGS
Take a self-guided walk through Abingdon’s history. Choose one of seven walks that take you to more than 40 buildings. Each walk gives you direct weblinks to articles on the buildings and the people associated with them.
The Society is hoping to have guided Outings during Spring and Summer 2025 which will be listed here.
For further details and to register and pay for an Outing see the Outings List and the Outings Form, which will be available to non-members later this year. AAAHS Members have priority booking.
