Explore the stunning landscape of the South Pennines Park on foot, cycle or horseback. Wander through woodland, clamber over crags, bike to a brewery or trot to a tearoom, it's all on offer in this festival fortnight.

The South Pennines, where Yorkshire & Lancashire collide is a wild, wonderful & occasionally wuthering landscape; a land of steep valleys, heather-covered moorland, canals, reservoirs & packhorse trails. The people who live here describe it as 'spectacular', 'inspiring', 'breathtaking' & 'dramatic.' Amazing eh!

This year's festival will be a mix of themed and full day walks featuring old favourites and some new ventures. We are well placed for exploring geology, industrial archaeology and a variety of habitats. The Wrekin and the Ercall are bound to feature. We are hoping to repeat last year's innovation, a tour of a local factory's eco-garden topped off by a pizza cooked on an open air wood burning stove. Full details later in the year.
