About

The 2026 Walking Festival - our 12th annual festival - will take place on the first May Bank Holiday, Friday May 1st to Monday May 4th.

Talgarth ‘Gateway to the Black Mountains’ Walkers are a Welcome Group that was formed in late 2011 and is made up of local businesses, charitable organisations, accommodation providers and passionate walkers and local residents who want to see our town thriving.

We offer walks which guide you through the local history, geology, literature and nature. Explore the area with our knowledgeable leaders who will take you on journeys through the landscape from the wooded dingles to the Black Mountains plateau.

The full walks programme, including several brand new routes will be announced in February 2026 www.talgarthwalkingfestival.org
