A WALKING festival celebrating the glorious outdoors of the Vale is being held in September.
The ‘Vale of Glamorgan Walking Festival 2024’ will be held between the 3rd and the 8th of September.
A friendly festival where everyone is welcome, this event is set in the beautiful coastal and pastoral landscapes of the Vale and its historic towns and villages.
Enjoy one or more of 28 varied walks of one to 14 miles in distance with those featuring local history and geology, or try an introduction to ‘Nordic walking’ – Nordic walking uses poles in a full body exercise originally used as a summer training regime for cross country skiers.
A spokesperson for the Vale’s Walking Festival 2024 said: “The Vale of Glamorgan, situated on the coast between the Gower and Cardiff, offers many varied walking routes.
“The Vale, as it's known locally, includes the southernmost point of mainland Wales, fertile rolling countryside and the dramatic Heritage Coast, with towering cliffs and remote beaches.
“During the Vale of Glamorgan Walking Festival, you can enjoy a spectacular variety of walks for all levels, discovering a maze of footpaths, country lanes, historic villages and churches, along with fine dining and country inns.
“Termed the 'Friendliest Walking Festival'; we offer good company and walks guided by experienced walk leaders.”
Walks are only £5.00 per adult per walk, accompanied children walk for free.
