Crickhowell Walking Festival 2012

Join this great event for the week or part of the week from 25th February.  A multitude of walks and trails in the beautiful Black Mountains - guided or not - for every ability and interest.  

There are lots of supporting events in the form of talks, courses in Map Reading and Navigation – theory and practical – as well as times to relax to music and even dance, if you still have enough energy left!

You'll be needing somewhere to stay!  As well as views to die for, the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons boast great food and wonderful places to stay from self catering cottages and bunk houses to fabulous gastro pubs and hotels.  Take a look at some of these - all run by our friends:

If you feel like non walking day - how about following a local food trail?

Crickhowell is home to Cashells' fabulous family butchers, Black Mountain Gold Chocolates, Cafe & Brasserie Number 18 and The Bear Hotel.  Welsh Venison Farm Shop and Bakers Table in Talgarth are just a few miles away and last - but not least - Come and visit our smokehouse factory shop for your sandwich fillers and foodie souvenirs!
