About

Join Chepstow Walkers are Welcome for 6 days of walking fun at the annual Chepstow Walking Festival, held 22nd - 27th April 2025.

This very popular 6 day annual walking festival usually consists of 35 walks guided walks, kicking off on the first Tuesday after the Easter Bank Holiday Monday.

The festival is devised to showcase the stunning landscape, local food producers and rich heritage of the Wye Valley and Monmouthshire. There are more castles in Monmouthshire than anywhere else in Europe and the only hard decision we have to make are which walks we want to feature to entice you to visit our hidden gems such as breathtaking views, ancient woodland, pretty villages, historic churches and majestic rivers (to name just a few).

Chepstow is also known for its long waymarked trails being at the start/finish or near Offa's Dyke Path, Wye Valley Walk, Gloucestershire Way and the Wales Coast Path and the newly devised Monmouthshire Way a circular route of 121 miles starting at Chepstow showcasing the Old Kingdom of Gwent. All walks are led by experienced friendly walk leaders who either live or work in the area. Its an opportunity to catch up with friends or make some news ones. The full programme will be available from February 2025 and we can hardly wait!

Chepstow has been accredited as a Walkers are Welcome town since 2012 and the annual walking festival organised by Chepstow Walkers are Welcome is a celebration of this.
