The popular New Forest Walking Festival is set to return this autumn.  

This year the festival runs for two weeks from Saturday 19 October to Sunday 3 November, with plenty of expert-guided walks for all interests and abilities, covering topics such as wildlife, photography, archaeology, and the arts.

The Festival aims to encourage everyone to get out and enjoy the special qualities of the National Park.

 This year, inclusive cycling charity PEDALL is offering confidence rides on two-wheeled bikes, including e-bikes. They also have an extensive range of specialist cycles, developed for people with additional needs.

A full list of festival events and booking information will be available here.
