Walk details
We start walking through Windsor town and along the long walk. Through to Savill Garden where there is an opportunity to stop for refreshments and there are toilets. Then we will continue to the totem pole which may have been lowered. The totem pole was carved by Chief Mungo Martin and there are two poles one was in Vancouver and has already been lowered. Carved onto it are the Thunderbird, Orca the Raven. Who all have spiritual meaning for the First Nations of Canada. Then we will head back to Windsor maybe stopping again at Savill Garden for toilets. The walk will end at Windsor & Eton Central station where it started.
