Talgarth Walking Festival celebrates the outstanding landscapes that surround our town - Gateway to the Black Mountains. We believe the best way to bring a landscape to life is to tell the stories of the people, history, geology, mythology and nature that make it a living, breathing place. All of our walks are therefore designed to tell stories. You won’t just be walking from one place to another, but will also hear immersive tales that will give you a sense of place.

We would love to welcome you to the Ross-on-Wye Walking Festival this year. Ross is an accredited Walkers are Welcome town and our Festival reflects the friendly nature of our welcome in this largely undiscovered area of South Herefordshire. We are blessed with the ability to take you off the beaten track on a real variety of gentle to medium walks aimed at all abilities – led by informed and enthusiastic people with a fount of local knowledge. Some walks have wonderful special interest themes or activities, while others just explore the natural beauty around our quirky town.
