The Gower Walking Festival is celebrating its 21st anniversary in 2025. Over the last 21 years, well over 10,000 people have enjoyed more than 1,250 walks around Gower as part of the festival. This year there will be more than 30 walks and we anticipate around 500 people will participate.
The Festival is co-ordinated by a small, enthusiastic group with support from local businesses, community organisations and Swansea Council. We are indebted to our volunteers who lead, co-lead and steward our walks.
Our mission statement sets out our purpose:
The Gower Walking Festival is an annual celebration of Gower, to encourage participants from all backgrounds to enjoy a unique landscape and a rich heritage. It aims to achieve this by offering an organised, diverse and sustainable programme of events, with minimum environmental impact, to educate, encourage and sometimes challenge all who take part.
We do hope you enjoy your walks, and love Gower as much as we do!
