About Us
Welcome to the Ross-on-Wye Walking Festival – 3 days of guided walks along trails and footpaths to give a varied and interesting taste of the town and the surrounding countryside.
In 2020 we celebrated the 250th anniversary of "Picturesque Tourism" that William Gilpin started in the Wye Valley at Ross-on-Wye in 1770 and we will follow this theme for the 2021 festival also. We would love to see you and offer:
- 15 diverse walks for all abilities and all interests
- incorporating everything from steam trains and forests, caves and hills to alleyways and cream teas
- geology and bird spotting
- walks range in length from 3 miles/easy to 9 miles/moderate
- many include opportunities for picnics or local pubs/food
- dog-friendly walks available
All of our festival walks are guided by knowledgeable, experienced local volunteers.
The full programme should be available early in 2021. Do book early if you can, to avoid missing out.
