THE popular World Heritage Walk is back this year for Nightingale House Hospice.

Taking place on Sunday, March 26 the event provides the perfect opportunity for supporters to take on a 13 mile walk along the beautiful heritage trail to raise money for patient care at the hospice.

Registration will take place at 9.30am at the Lion Quays Hotel in Oswestry. From here, walkers will be transported by Pat’s Coaches, who are sponsoring the event, to the Chainbridge Hotel, Llangollen where they will begin their walk.

This year the event is being supported by Nightingale House’s Chirk fundraising group.

Participants can complete the walk entirely at their own pace and the event is open to all.
