Masham's Peculier™ Guided History Tour

Masham's Peculier Guided Walking Tours are a great way to get the full Peculier story... The Peculier Walking Tours of Masham invite you to stroll through the stories, characters, and moments that have shaped this remarkable town—from Saxon saints to Victorian ambition, civic oddities to wartime resilience. Uncover the tales carved in stone, brewed in barrels, and whispered through winding lanes, you’ll see how Masham’s peculier past lives on beneath every step. Our guides are local volunteers and the funds raised from the 1.5 hour tours go to Masham charities. The route follows primarily road surfaces, with some uneven paths; every effort will be made to adapt and personalise the tour to suit those using mobility scooters or wheelchairs, ensuring Masham’s stories remain open to all who wish to hear them. The cost is £10 per person or £30 for a family ticket (2 adults + 2 children), click below to book and assure your place. Book Your Place Now Funds raised go to Masham charities.
