To complement the Festival, the tourist board Visit Peak District & Derbyshire are launching a new Walk & Watch Festival with a dozen guided walks across the Peak District.
Hay Walking Festival
Anna Heywood from Drover Holidays and Trisha Doree from the Brecon Beacons National Park joined Andrew to talk about the second year of the Hay Walking Festival.
The walk organisers and team have assembled a full walks and events for our second anual walking festival to take place in October 2012. A programme of over 50 guided walks is planned, for all ages and abilities, from full days to a few hours, together with some walks of special interest such as foraging and geocaching.
Some of the walks have already sold out, so a visit to the Hay Walking Festival website to book soon would be a good idea.
