The Rotherham Walking Festival
The Rotherham Walking Festival began in 1999 and has been successfully held every year since them except for the time of Foot and Mouth disease. There is a week or more of guided walks around the borough taking in picturesque countryside, local attractions and places of interest. There is something for everyone including nature and Heritage Trails and events for ramblers, walkers and staggerers like me, with something for all ages, interests and levels of ability. There were a wide variety of events organised for 2010 including Guided Walks, Entertainment, Special Events, Boat Trips, Fayres, Crafts: far too many to list here. The festival hosts numerous walks with a mixture of lengths in time and distance, for varying abilities from easy walks to hard rambles.
