With 29 events on offer across the North Wessex Downs our festival is a celebration of the stunning landscapes, glorious scenery and top-class walking country that this National Landscape has to offer.
We have opportunities for you to seek out wildlife, history or culture, picnic with the family or simply soak up the views from the top of the downs. And this year there are even more farm walks on offer where you can hear directly from the farmers or land managers about their work.
Most of our walks are free. But all events must be booked in advance.
(If an event is booked up you can join a waiting list.)
Join our knowledgeable and welcoming guides and explore more as they lead you to some of their favourite places in the North Wessex Downs.
