The North Wessex Downs 2024 Walking Festival has taken place, but why not take a look at some of our self-guided walks 

The annual North Wessex Downs Walking Festival is a celebration of the stunning landscapes, glorious scenery and top-class walking country that this National Landscape has to offer.

It provides opportunities to seek out wildlife, history or culture, picnic with the family or simply soak up the views from the top of the downs.  And this year there were even more farm walks on offer where you could hear directly from the farmers or land managers about their work.

We would like to take this opportunity to express how grateful we are to all our partners who organise and lead walks, without whom this festival simply would not be possible.

All walks that took place this year are listed below.
