FRIDAY 23RD to MONDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER 2011

We promised you some surprises as part of this year’s South Devon Walking and Activities Festival, the first to be hosted by its new organizers – the Information Centres serving the South Hams based in Dartmouth, Kingsbridge, Modbury, Salcombe and Totnes – who have taken over the future of this well-established and much-loved event from its founders, the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty team………check out the Walking Festival website for a taste of what we are planning: www.kingsbridgeinfo.co.uk/pages/south-devon-walking-festival-2011

By running a compact Festival over a 4-day long weekend, Friday 23rd to Monday 26th September inclusive, we have been able to focus on walking in a new way! Sometimes the walk itself is the “event”; at other times, walking forms part of a larger, more varied event – perhaps it’s the best way to get there or the most enjoyable way to become involved.

Adopting this inclusive approach, we have been able to invite participation from others outside the “walking” sector and offer a whole range of opportunities to appeal to all ages – all abilities – and all interests.

Wherever you are in the South Hams over that weekend, we do hope you will find something to excite you from an action packed programme!
