Our guided tour firstly takes you to a small Franciscan island, also known as The Greyfriars,
which is home to a beautiful 13th century chapel which spans the river, and is the oldest
example of Franciscan architecture in the country.
We then pass under the 12th century Eastbridge Hospital and the King's Bridge (1134),
continuing down river past some medieval industrial buildings, including The Old Weavers
House, The Kings Mill, and the Cromwellian iron forge.
After some wonderful views of the cathedral, the tour then passes through the Dominican
priories, built by the Blackfriars in the 14th century, and ending up in Solly’s Orchard the site
of the old Abbots Mill in the city. We then return, passing The Marlowe Theatre, to our
starting point which is home to the infamous ‘Ducking Stool’
