Walking and cycling are increasingly being lauded as the way to a healthier life, a great way of de-stressing, finding like-minded friends and simply getting some good old-fashioned fresh air.
The festival has a plentiful supply of very fresh air, confirmed by all the mosses and lichens growing everywhere you look. During the festival you will be with like-minded people and our friendly and informative guides. You will follow routes through some of the best and most varied countryside this country has to offer. These include the only International Biosphere Reserve in this country, a coastline to die for, being a Heritage Coast and Marine Nature Reserve and the landward side being an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Then there is the small and perfectly formed Exmoor National Park and off the coast lies the gem of Lundy Island, unspoilt by the modern world.
Every outing has been carefully chosen to show off the local countryside to its best. During the festival the outings are further enhanced by marvellous shows of wild flowers, often taking your breath away with the wonderful array of colours. This year the festival is covering all Exmoor and North Devon down to the Cornish border.
The 2009 festival will be held from Thursday 30th April to Friday 8th May.
