A walk around the village of Jordans, Buckinghamshire - investigating its Quaker origins in the 17th century, including the Friends Meeting House; and how the coming of the railway in the early 20th century led to the emergence of a social experiment and the development of an 'Arts and Crafts' style model village.

This walk is about 2km (but can be shortened); is mostly on pavement and path, but with a short road section, one field stile and a short woodland section. The walk can be followed using a mobile device: using an ArcGIS 'Storymap' at the ourlivingvillage.org website, where there is rich detailed content; or a simpler version is available through the LoveExploring App (download via Apple or Google).
