HALTWHISTLE
WALKING FESTIVAL
Triggered by the need to counter the negative legacy of Foot and Mouth, local enthusiasts developed the Haltwhistle Rings – a series of circular walks. The success of the Rings in promoting walking in our wonderful countryside inspired the development of the Haltwhistle Walking Festival.
The first Festival took place in 2003 and, over the years, has gone from strength to strength. It has gathered together loyal walkers from all over the world as well as from the immediate vicinity.
