Heard of the English knight loved by two women but despised by a man of the cloth? The father and son team that did the Empire proud but were labelled as vandals by some? What about the man with no head for figures who broke the Queen's Bank? Or the lawmakers who pushed opium? Savour these tales while imbibing ales in charming pubs along the picturesque river bank. Swig, swagger and stagger through the backlanes of history. |

Here's what previous walkers have to say about The Tipple Exchange™
"This tour stole the show. Mmmm... I think it was something to do with the 'Deer' or should I say 'Deers'. I'm not sure which 'deer' caused me to sleep in until lunch time the next day... maybe it was the Speckled Hen or a wild tiger or two. Jeya has a wonderful way of adding spice and bringing to life the historic events which occurred in this fantastic area."
