A warm welcome, once again, to our annual celebration of walking the beautiful countryside around Dursley.
We have a terrific line up of walks, to suit all ages and fitness. All our walks are free to attend, but must be booked online in advance.
If you are feeling energetic, there are linear walks in all directions of the compass. We arrange all the transport, you enjoy a fine, long walk. Check out Compass Walks for more information.
We have also put together a selection of walks which allow you to discover the best places to have tea and cake in the area. What better way to finish a walk?
And with family walks and history walks, there really is something for everyone to enjoy over the week.
We thank our sponsors Studio Zed, Dursley Rambling Club, and Dursley Town Council for their ongoing support.Â
Our aim is to keep the festival free for the whole community to enjoy. This is possible because of the generous donations from the public each year. If you would like to support the festival, you can find an online donation link below. Â
Happy walking!
