There are eight walks for you to enjoy, each with detailed instructions and maps to make navigating as simple as possible Excerpt from the book: "The House with the Heads is indeed decorated with six heads. As you might expect there is a story. Local legend says they represent six thieves who broke into the house and were all decapitated by the maid - clearly a very strong maid! The heads were all hung on the house façade as a deterrent to any other thieves, although the presence of the maid would probably have been enough."
