BISHOP'S CASTLE WALKING FESTIVAL - in the Shropshire Hills
Bishop’s Castle is a small market town surrounded by the wonderful Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, near the Welsh border and off the beaten track. The festival welcomes walkers of all abilities and each day offers a range of walks from leisurely to strenuous.
Our 22nd annual Walking Festival will be held over four days, from Thursday 14th to Sunday 17th May 2020, when the countryside is at its best. The area is a walker’s paradise, with local footpaths leading over open hilltops, through winding valleys, tiny hamlets, country lanes and sometime the remains of ancient hill forts. There are many amazing views.
Friendly and relaxed, our guided walks are led by experienced local volunteers. Most walks, cost about £3.50 per person per walk; under sixteens are free, though must be accompanied by an adult. Walk details will be available and show any other costs involved, such as possible transport fees. Where transport is needed to the start of the walk, we will car-share or use community transport. (Please see note in the Small Print about car-sharing.) Where walks finish in Bishop’s Castle or near a café or pub, there will be the option of tea and cakes or a pint.
As in previous years, there will be a programme of evening events and walkers will find good accommodation, pubs and cafés and a very interesting little town to explore.
