Necropolis Women’s Heritage Walk

3rd September, 2022, 2:00pm to 4:00pm

£6.00 – £10.00
It’s a clear winter day. This is the view of the city of Glasgow from the top of a hill. In the foreground there are large tomb stones and obelisks. In the middle and back ground there are rows of houses, large building and tower blocks.

Our sell out women’s heritage walks, led by our volunteer tour guides, show Glasgow’s neighbourhoods in a new light, making visible the often hidden and overlooked contributions women have made to the city.

Pick up a Stamp as you Stomp loyalty card when you attend a walk, do all 6 of our walks and get a very special Women Make history treat!

This hilly walk, based in one of Glasgow’s most fascinating Victorian garden cemeteries, looks at the stories of both the notorious and the forgotten women who are buried in these atmospheric and ethereal surroundings, with fantastic views over the city.

A week before the walk we will email all those who’ve booked with information including the meeting point for the walk.

Accessibility

This walk takes place on tarmac roads and paths around the Necropolis and we also move off the paths onto the grass at one or two stops. There is one stop where steps are used.  The Necropolis is on a steep hill and there are no banisters. If you’d like to speak to someone about the walk in advance and let us know your access needs, please contact us – we are happy to answer any questions.
