Walking through Wellington

About

Get your walking boots ready, Wellington Walking Festival is back for it's 13th year! 

Explore 31 captivating events, catering to all abilities, from leisurely strolls to a challenging 13.5 mile walk, which showcase the natural beauty of Wellington and its surrounding area.

NEW for 2024 -  11 of the walks feature in the Heritage Open Days  (HODs) programme as they fit into this year's HOD's theme of networks.  These range from ancient trackways through Roman roads, jitties, rivers, canals and railways, to OS benchmarks. Several of these utilise more modern networks of buses and trains. There is also one walk where we will encourage all the chat to be in French.
