Baildon Walking Festival 2023 – 10th Anniversary Status

In 2013, Baildon was granted the esteemed “Walkers are Welcome" status, a recognition attributed to its idyllic countryside setting and the abundance of diverse walking routes suitable for all. Since becoming a part of the national “Walkers are Welcome" network, the Baildon Walkers are Welcome group has been ardently promoting and encouraging walking in the picturesque Baildon countryside. Now, a decade later, they will be commemorating the 10th anniversary of Baildon's revered status as a “Walkers are Welcome" Town.

The passionate efforts of the Baildon Walkers are Welcome group have left an indelible mark on the community, fostering a culture of walking and outdoor exploration. Their dedication has resulted in numerous events and walking guides, enticing both local residents and visitors to partake in the beauty of nature.

The Festival, which runs over 8 days, will offer a total of 17 guided walks ranging from 1 mile to 15 miles. In addition, there will be 5 events which do not really require any walking at all!!

Baildon is only a step away from Bingley and is very accessible by public transport. During our last Bingley Walking Festival, we organised a walk to Baildon too!
