Northern Walking Programme
From North Wales to the Peak District, Pennines, Dales and the Lakes, we have a selection of walks to suit all abilities. You’ll find details of our future walking programme on this page as well as a link to the programme for the last 12 months so you can see what you've missed!
We don’t currently publish walk leaders phone numbers so if you see a walk that interests you use the contact form and we will put you in touch with the leader. All walks will require you to take a packed lunch unless otherwise stated.
