Haltwhistle Walking Festival 2025
Saturday 26th April – Monday 5th May
Celebrate the Pennine Way’s 60th Anniversary at Haltwhistle Walking Festival
Hike high moorland and forests with the spirit of the Border Reivers and a frontier of Roman Empire for company. Myths and legends abound among wild country and lonely loughs. Quite simply, the Pennine Way is Britain’s oldest and most iconic National Trail – a 268-mile trek along the spine of England.
3 Linear Walks
Join a celebratory three-day trek on the Pennine Way from Bellingham to Haltwhistle. Do one, two or all three days. Transport is included from and back to Haltwhistle.
We start the day with some relatively flat miles close to the River North Tyne, and past some wonderfully remote farms.
This is a stunning day’s walk where the Pennine Way coincides with some of the best-preserved sections of Hadrian’s Wall.
Our bus takes us back to Greenhead for the final stage of our 3-day trail.
3 Circular Walks
Join Ian Jackson, local geologist and author of ‘Rocks at the Edge of Empire’.
From The Sill, National Landscape Discovery Centre we climb up to Hadrian’s Wall…
This is a high-altitude circuit from England’s highest market town.
Haltwhistle, the geographical centre of Britain, is an ideal location for a fun-filled festival week with a selection of walks which you can mix, match or just choose one.
