Walking
Festival

26th April - 5th May 2025

The Festival is now over for another year.

Thank you to everyone including both our regular visitors and new faces, who took part in the festival this year. In addition to those from Northumberland , Durham and Tyne and Wear, we also welcomed visitors from Wales, Scotland and from many parts of England, especially those living in the southeast and in London.

A new record was set from Adelaide Australia, for the distance travelled to our festival (10,000 miles). The previous record holder was from Chicago USA (3,000 miles). Thank you to everyone for making our walking festival a great success. It is planned and delivered entirely by volunteers. We shall be back in 2025 with lots of new walks for you to enjoy and look forward to welcoming you to our very special part of the world. Put the date in your diaries now:
