Winchcombe Walking Festival 2011 breaks all records...
The 'Winchcombe Walkers are Welcome' Steering Group spent hundreds of hours planning and organising the second Winchcombe Walking Festival and were amazed at the popularity of the annual event. The Walking Festival attracted an increase of 44% more walkers with over 280 walkers joining many events. The walkers clocked up a staggering 2,180 miles, the same distance as London to Cairo as the crow flies ! With 17 different themed walks on offer to suit everyone, the walks ranged from a short town military history walk, butterflies and flowers, steam train ride and walk, a family nature walk, to half day and full day walks. A new evening sunset walk was introduced which proved very popular.
