The Peak District Walking Festival – April 24 to May 9 2010

The Peak District Walking Festival is one of the largest and most varied festivals in the country, with more than 100 walks led by expert and knowledgeable guides, from National Park Rangers and archaeologists to ecologists and ghost hunting experts! All ages and abilities are catered for and as well as new challenges like rock climbing or caving, you'll be able to take part in guided cycle rides.

The Peak District's Historic Border Country Walking Festival – May 15 to 23 2010

The Peak District's Historic Border Country sits between the Peak District to the west and Sherwood Forest to the east and has some of the best unspoilt and undiscovered countryside, which you'll be able to explore in the Festival. The programme includes many guided walks to suit all ages and abilities, including the ‘Longest Walk on the Longest Day' – a 34 mile walk which circumnavigates Chesterfield, keeping the spire in view most of the time.
