Huntingdonshire Health Walk Scheme
Huntingdon Group
These approximately 1-hour guided easy-paced walks
welcome all-comers (although some are not wheel-
chair or buggy/pram friendly) and are a chance to
make new acquaintances, and to keep fit in the pro-
cess! Huntingdon's planned walks are normally on
Wednesday afternoons and Friday mornings.
During September, only one of Huntingdon's 7 walks
starts from the Village Hall Car Park, which is at
1.50pm for 2pm on Wednesday 16th; the "Diddington
Doddle". Details of the remaining 6 walks (there are
no walks at all on Friday 18th) can be found on the
website (see below) and in the special booklet which
should still be available from the Buckden Surgery,
the Library and the Marina.
For further information, please do not hesitate to con-
tact Danielle Sancaster at the District Council offices,
tel. (01480) 387047, or email

Buckden Local
History Society
Transported from Huntingdon Assizes
An illustrated talk by Ann James
In researching her own family tree, Ann has traced
one of her ancestors to the goldfields of Australia
where she discovered many ex-convicts worked.
Huntingdon Family History Society encouraged Ann
to research transported Huntingdon felons. Using
the local archives she’s identified 600, so far.
“I want to tell the full story of each and every one of
them, including the families they left behind.”
