The stories were here first

Inside the walls. Out of the ordinary.

A market since 1141. A maze with no shortcuts. A town whose name is a joke on its own coat of arms. There's a story round every corner.

A few familiar corners.

01 / The Market Place

The market has been part of the town since 1141. A good place to start the walk, or find a familiar face.

02 / The Common

Walk the turf maze on the Common. Then take the story home in a design made for people who know it.

03 / Coming home

For people inside the walls and people who carry Walden with them. Belonging doesn't need a current address.

Five stops through the town, and what we made from each.

The town's monuments and old lines, with sources, on a map you can explore.

The longer read. Every fact links to its source, and legends are labelled as legends.
