​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 13th to Sunday 16th May 2021, 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 sometimes the remains of ancient hill forts. There are many amazing views. Friendly and relaxed, our guided walks are led by experienced local volunteers.  

After the festival we would very much welcome your comments on the Feedback Form at the bottom of this page.
