With huge thanks to our wonderful volunteers, who each year give up their time to lead and guide walks for our Festival, we are delighted to be able to put on our annual programme of walks for a 15th year.

This year there are a record 94 walks to choose from, and we are celebrating the rich and varied heritage of the National Forest. You can take a walk back through time and learn about the rocks beneath our feet, hear stories of stately homes and the families who lived there, and find out how our industrial past shaped the Forest.

We hope you enjoy this year’s festival, and it inspires you to go and explore the Forest in your own time.
