Walking Festival returns for 19th year

Over 60 guided walks in and around the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, will take place from May 4 to 12.

Spring of 2024 marks the 19^th annual Ironbridge Gorge Walking Festival. Routes range from two to 20 miles and knowledgeable walk leaders will take you on a journey through this post-industrial landscape, exploring woodlands, meadows, heathlands, dingles and more!

There is also an option to challenge yourself to earn a medal over the nine days, by completing 25, 50, 75 or 100 miles through any combination of 3 or more walks. Whilst all walks are completely free, booking is essential as numbers are limited. Well behaved dogs are welcome on some walks but please check before booking.
