The Festival of Winter Walks is an annual event organized by the Ramblers charity. It takes place in January and February and encourages people to get outdoors and enjoy the winter countryside.
The Festival of Winter Walks offers a variety of walks, from short and easy strolls for families to longer and more challenging hikes for experienced walkers. They are a great way to get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air, and experience the beauty of the winter countryside. It's also a chance to learn about the natural environment and meet new people.
