Bishop's Castle Walking Festival

A three-day midweek festival in June each year

Come and experience the rich wildlife and breathtaking scenery in the heart of the Shropshire Hills and delve into the history and myths of this inspiring border country.

The festival offers a selection of guided walks in the company of trained local guides. You will stay with local bed and breakfast accommodation providers which we can help to book for you. The area can offer a challenge to walkers, so please bring strong footwear, warm clothing and waterproofs with you. This hilly area is famous for sheep and cattle farming, preventing us from allowing dogs on the walks. You will need packed lunches which may be available from your accommodation providers or you can buy them from the local bakeries and grocers in Bishop's Castle.

A wide variety of activities in both Bishop's Castle and the immediate area will be held at the time of the walking festival. These include talks by local naturalists, a folk evening, town tours, brewery tours, and special openings of the town's museums.

Full details and a booking form are available in our colour brochure available from local tourist information outlets or by contacting our information and accommodation booking service:
