About

During the last 20 years Barmouth Walking Festival has been encouraging visitors to experience the beauty of South Eryri on foot, guided by experienced and knowledgeable leaders.

2024 was no exception, offering a varied programme of walks ranging from a challenging all day hike to a walk for relaxation and mindfulness, and it saw the return of the popular Photographic Walk and Workshop as well as our Woodland Trust walk.

Updates to the 2025 program will be published in the spring with bookings open from June 2025.
