The festival is all about enjoying walking, meeting new people and will take place in some of the most beautiful and unique landscapes.
The Festival
The 2025 Heart of Kent Walking Festival will take place from Friday 21st March to Sunday 30th March. Once again it will be spread over 10 days with many wonderful walks to choose from, a great way to explore the beauty that Kent has to offer. Walk details and booking information will be announced soon.
In the meantime there are guided walks taking place during the year and you can find out about them here. Or try out one of the self-guided walks, going at your own pace and when it suits you.
Be the First to Know

Sustainable Transport and Walking
With sustainability in mind many of the walks will start close to train stations and bus routes. This means you can leave your car at home and enjoy the journey. The train lines travel through some beautiful countryside so all you have to do is relax.
