About this walk

A Transatlantic Cable, a Windmill, a Battle Site & the Bogs

This is where Orleans worked out what kind of place it wanted to be. Five stops over 15.9 miles, about 54 minutes of driving. The story for each stop plays as you arrive, so nothing has to be looked up and nobody has to be followed.

It works as well at eight in the morning as it does at dusk. Stop for coffee, pick it back up.
