The Isle of Wight Walking Festival is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year — and a number of similar events are taking place across the UK as the weather warms up.
May is the month for walking festivals when walkers make use of longer days to scale the rickety stiles of the British countryside. There’s been a slew of new festivals in recent years — with guided walks themed around subjects as diverse as archaeology and astronomy, food and folklore. The festival calendar drops off through June and July, but the pace picks up again in September, when walkers can savour the last drops of summer at a handful of events.
Close to 60 guided walks explore this famously flat county, ranging from potters beside the North Sea coast at eerie Orford Ness to saunters amid the more idyllic landscapes of Dedham Vale.Hikers come to the Cotswolds for the wooded escarpments and blustery commons, but it’s also beloved for having some of England’s loveliest towns and villages. Among them is Winchcombe, an ancient Anglo-Saxon capital hosting a walking festival in May.
