North Wessex Downs AONB 50th Anniversary Walking Festival 11th – 26th June…. Bookings are now live…
Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a truly special place, protected for you.
From remote, rolling downland to picture postcard villages the North Wessex Downs are truly special. Undoubtedly among Britain’s most beautiful landscapes, they are somewhere to be treasured, protected and enjoyed. Straddling four counties and often unheralded, this is an area united by a single factor – chalk.
With 28 walks on offer across the length and breadth of the North Wessex Downs our festival is a celebration of the stunning landscapes, gorgeous scenery and top-class walking country that the AONB has to offer.
We have opportunities for you to seek out wildlife, history or culture, visit a farm, follow an accessible trail, picnic with the family, improve your navigation skills or simply to soak up the views from the top of the downs.
Many of the walks are free.
Join our knowledgeable and welcoming guides to discover more as they bring alive some of their favourite places in the North Wessex Downs.
