Harthill Walk

Over the year of 1989, the town rallied together to create a walking path around the town for its residents and visitors. During this time they decided on five resting areas to be set up between the walk on the outskirts of town.

A contest was held to decide on names for the benches that were to have a creative and/or connection to the characters within the novel. (Ivanhoe Times, May-December 1989)

The names chosen for the Harthill Walk in order starting from the sign pictured on the left are: Black Knight Retreat, Archer's Rest, Locksley Nook, Athelstane's Repose and Friar Tuck Bench.
