Walks
Here’s our calendar of walks that you can join with a group during the week (and a bit) of Walkfest 22. Some are short and gentle, others are longer and more challenging.
Please note that you will need to book for guided walks, so we know how many people are coming. Details of how to book are provided for each walk.
