Now in its eighth year, the Wellington Walking Festival revisits old favourite routes and adds new events. The 28 events taking place as part of this year’s schedule include the Shropshire Way walk and Vineyard visit, the Denso Eco Garden tour (with pizza for sustenance!) and the Telford T50 50 Mile trail, anticlockwise in stages.
