About
Building upon the success of its Walking Festival, Alton town Council have taken the decision to hold its 2018 event throughout the entire month of May. The number and variety of walks available will look to entice everyone, from beginner to the experienced walker and will take in some of the best views available in Hampshire. The Festival will also aim to encourage those who have not considered walking before to actively log their progress to being able to complete a 5 km walk by the end of the month and hopefully encourage them to continue walking as a positive step towards their health and well-being.
This year's Festival will offer walkers a range of guided walks that will allow them to explore the town and surrounding countryside. Whether they are looking to delve into the town's history, enjoy the local shops, cafes and restaurants or are a keen walker looking to enjoy a day out in the East Hampshire Countryside, the programme will offer something for all ages and abilities.
2018 will promote a number of new walks culminating in the Six Hills of Alton Walk which is dedicated to the memory of Robert Athis, who sadly is no longer with us, but was very much a stalwart for walking and devised the route for this walk.
All walks must be booked in advance and are free (travel costs are at the expense of the walker).
