Wales Valleys Walking Festival Coming Soon! - 6 Awst 2009
Welcome to the fifth Wales Valleys Walking Festival
5th -20th September 2009
The Walking Festival is now a firmly established event in the walking calendar. This year, there is even more on offer to tempt walkers of all abilities, from walks for the serious enthusiast, looking to stretch themselves whilst basking in the breathtaking beauty of the Valleys scenery, to shorter walks suitable for the less experienced and for all the family.
This is your opportunity to see just how spectacular the valleys of today are, you will see a unique roller-coaster landscape of hills and vales dotted with friendly towns and villages. There are sheltered riverside paths and highland trails with big, boundless views, waymarked forest walks and green routes through country parks. Walking is as gentle or adventurous as you want to make it. And it’s all easily accessible. If you are passionate about the pleasures and benefits of walking or just want to start walking more come along to the annual walking festival in September. There's a walk to suit everyone from quiet strolls around some of our historic parks to exciting stomps across the ridges and through the valleys that make our area so dramatic and unique.
Just like the Valleys the Walking Festival offers a mix of breathtaking beauty and
fascinating heritage, introduced to you by experienced walk leaders who love to talk about the region. The 2008 Walking Festival was a big hit - despite atrocious weather conditions on the run up to the festival. The 2009 Walking Festival promises to be bigger, better and brighter!
