The Kington Walking Festival is the primary annual event of the Kington Walks charity with the Kington Walks Festival being held in September as usual.

Think daffodils, bluebells, wood anemones, lambs, and trees in bud and maybe blossom! Kington is one of the great small market towns of Britain. Situated close to the Welsh border it was for centuries a centre for cattle drovers, so a web of footpaths and byways, accessible on foot from the town centre await discovery by present day walkers. The Offa’s Dyke Path National Trail, the Herefordshire Trail, Mortimer Trail from Ludlow, and the Wyche Way from Broadway all pass through (or start/finish) in the town. The base cost for most walks is £5.50 for a half day and £7.50 for a longer walk. Some walks involve an additional cost to cover transport, food or admission charges.
