The National Forest Walking Festival

Sat, 14th May 2022 - Thu, 26th May 2022

The National Walking month falls during May, and this is one of the best times of the year to be outdoors in the National Forest. From the drama of spring blossom, the heady scent of bluebells carpeting ancient woods, and the chance to see wildlife in abundance are all wonderful for the mind and soul.

Look out for the surprising range of wildlife in and around the Forest, and marvel at the geological stories beneath your feet. The National Forest have included many ‘wildlife’ themed walks in their programme this year to celebrate and learn about nature.
