Greater Manchester Walking Festival

by prestwichfocus on 1 May, 2018

Greater Manchester Walking Festival returns this month (1-31 May 2018) for it’s fourth year.

The festival involves a number of charities and community groups across Greater Manchester, coordinated by Transport for Greater Manchester, with Government funding.

The festival is part of work to encourage people to have a more ‘active life’, and to encourage more ‘active travel’ (e.g. walking or cycling). The festival is now offering 369 free guided walks exploring local towns, cities, countryside, canals, riversides and parks across Greater Manchester.

Walks cater for all abilities and interests, whether it’s an easy-on-the-legs family story ramble through the Wigan countryside or a more challenging evening trek around Blackstone Edge to watch the sun set.

The full list of walks can be found at The Greater Manchester Walking Festival website. The walks include a number of walks in the Prestwich area.

Copies of the festival brochure, which has details of all the walks, are available in TfGM Travelshops and other outlets across Greater Manchester, or can be ordered by emailing walking.works@tfgm.com.
