We’ve hung up our boots on the 2026 Gower Walking Festival! It’s been another record-breaking year – with more walks, more tickets sold than in recent years. Over nine days, we welcomed hundreds of people who took part in 37 walks covering a total of nearly 200 miles around glorious Gower and the surrounding areas. And, what fun we had 🤩
Participants came from far and wide. As always there were lots of locals wanting to discover more about the area in which they live. Plus, there were a significant number who travelled from across the UK, Europe and even as far afield as North Carolina to enjoy our spectacular and stunning, heritage-rich, corner of the world.
The weather wasn’t quite as good over the final days of the Festival, but we still managed to have a wonderful time. Check out the new walk photos below.
