Strolls 'n' Stories offers unique walking and storytelling experiences. Characters come to life as your host, Jan, acts out historical stories mixed within strolls through the Welsh countryside.

Come and explore famous Welsh towns and beautiful surroundings. Each town has its own unique history and set of mysteries.

Don’t like to walk up hills?

Responding to requests from people who like siteseeing but not long walks uphill, we give you our GENTLE events which are easy walks. Look for GENTLE in the event descriptions.

Pop-up Walks

Throughout the walking season, we’ll give a fortnight’s notice of an unplanned walk. Here are some of the locations we choose. Have a favourite location that you’d like Jan to consider? Message her by clicking here.

Hay on Wye – for the Hay poisoner, a stockbroker turned preacher and of course the Lady of Hay.
Brecon – for the sacred beehive well, the zulu war and the poet and mystic Henry Vaughn.
Exploring the Gwent levels – the coastal path, the East Usk Lighthouse, St Mary’s Church (the Cathedral of the Moors) and the great flood.

Let us know if you are interested in any of the above pop-up walks.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
