Walking Festivals
Celebrate the Great Outdoors
Wales Valleys Walking
Festival
With such an abundance of walking trails, it's only
natural for us to have an 
abundance of walking festivals.
The biggest is the Wales Valleys Walking Festival being held this
September for the seventh time. Bigger and better than ever
before the festival includes five new walks in its 38 walk
programme. The programme encompasses some long distance
trails for those of you who are keen walkers and some shorter
routes suitable for children (or those of you who aren't so
keen)
The walks themselves are led by experienced guides whose local
knowledge adds to the experience
You'll need to book yourself on to one of these walks in advance
but the good news is that they're all free.
More information is available here or you can download a

Bridgend's Love2Walk Festival
There are many other local walking festivals including
Bridgend's Love2Walk festival. The usual standard walks of
various lengths and difficulties are available but you might like
to try some a little bit different. Alternative walks include
Nordic walking, star gazing, zorbing on water and wild food
foraging.
More information on this festival is available on their website
