FORMER school teacher Richard Whinray will hold a fifth season of guided local history tours around Settle.
They will follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, Tot Lord, who has been described as “one of the Yorkshire Dales’ greatest characters”, “one of Settle’s greatest citizens” and “as much a part of Settle as Castleberg Rock itself!”.
His colourful and eventful life had a marked impression upon the town of his birth and upon the Yorkshire Dales, a place he loved.
The first tour will take place today (Thursday, July 30), with further tours being held every Wednesday in August. Participants should meet outside the tourist information centre at 6.30pm and the walk will return at 8.15pm.
There will be a charge of £4 per person, with all proceeds being donated to the NSPCC. Firm footwear is recommended.
