IRONBRIDGE WALKING GROUP
Ironbridge Walking Group are a group of local volunteers, keen to promote walking and the beautiful area in which we live. Every year we organise the Ironbridge Gorge Walking Festival – a 9-day long celebration of walking that includes more than 50 free guided walks for all abilities this is usually held in May. This year we return with a pop-up highlights festival of 36 walks from the 4th to 12th of September with the addition of 9 walks from the 16th – 24th September as part of the World Heritage Festival. Our programme aims to offer something for everyone, from long challenge walks, with the opportunity to receive a 100, 50 or 25 mile medal, to short information walks, showcasing the rich history or flora and fauna of the area and everything in between. We try to illustrate all the fabulous things the area has to offer, from local projects to heritage properties, coracles to artists. And there’s always time (and plenty of choice) for refreshments!
