It’s nearly 175 years since Dickens visited Bonchurch, our walk will follow his movements around the village visiting friends, playing rounders on the beach and performing magic tricks. My research this year has uncovered some little known facts about his visit.
We will be ambling around Bonchurch on all its levels taking a look at the beautiful houses and historic churches of the village.
