Description

In-person

This Jane’s Walk, taking place in West End, focuses on themes of art, architecture, environment, history, and culture.

Join designer and West End resident Sarah Lawrence on a 3 mile walk along the paved part of the Atlanta BeltLine, with a detour through the shady, wild corridor of the unpaved path. It can feel unreal to have such a tranquil spot alongside two busy streets, but Atlanta's got it!

You’ll meet at Lee & White to grab a coffee or beer and then embark on a 1.5 mile walk to the splat tunnel in West End! You’ll learn about the murals along the route, identify plants, and learn more about the history of Westview and West End.

Then, you’ll take a slightly different route back to the starting point and see different sights of the area.
