Holmfirth’s first walking festival which took place from the 4th – 6th October was a big hit. Despite weather warnings, lots of people turned out to take advantage of the superb walks on offer and participate in some really interesting evening events. As luck would have it. the weather was kind and the heavy rain earlier in the week made the waterfalls and rivers magnificent. They had visitors from New Zealand, Australia, Latvia and Germany- perhaps next year they should call it the Holmfirth International Walking Festival!
