Railway 200 Celebrations – Jane Austen Themed Train Walk and Talk Tour in Overton on Friday 25th April 10.00 am

As part of our town’s Walkers are Welcome 10 year celebrations and to also mark the Railway 200 national celebrations, WaW are organising a train walk to Overton where the Jane Austen Trails Team have kindly offered to lead us on a guided walk and talk tour exploring their new leafleted ‘Overton in Jane Austen’s Time’ walk. The trail has been produced as part of Hampshire’s yearlong celebrations of 250 years of Jane Austen and the walk will cover 2 miles or so on a route around Overton, visiting relevant locations and giving walkers the chance to hear about the local history connected with Jane.

The walk will be followed by a break – so you can choose to enjoy a light lunch, or refreshments, before an optional Walkers are Welcome guided walk back from Overton to Whitchurch along the Harroway. Anyone not wanting to walk back can catch the bus whenever they wish.

We plan to take the 10.14 train from Whitchurch to Overton as a group, arriving at Overton station at 10.20, then walking into the centre of Overton to the meeting point for the themed Walk and Talk Tour, which will start at 10.45. A standard single rail ticket from Whitchurch to Overton costs £4.40 which you should purchase individually.

There is a limit on numbers so if you wish to reserve a place, please email with your name and telephone contact details to waw@whitchurchassociation.org.uk .

Please note that, in the event of highly inclement weather, it will be necessary for the Walk and Talk Tour to be cancelled and rearranged for another date.
