Travel Actively Barrow Invites You To Walk This Way!
Get ready to step into something new - Barrow is about to host its very first walking festival, and everyone’s invited!


From 28 July to 3 August, the town will come alive with the Walk This Way Festival, a week-long celebration of walking in all its wonderful forms. Whether you're a brisk stepper, a casual stroller, a photo lover, or just in it for the chat, there’s a walk for you.
Organised by Active Cumbria’s Travel Actively Barrow Team, the festival is all about community, movement, and fun. Expect a packed programme of themed walks happening across Barrow, with local groups and organisations joining forces to bring this exciting event to life. From scenic routes and history trails to social strolls and family-friendly rambles, there’s something for everyone - no matter your pace or experience.
So, dust off those trainers, grab your friends, family, and join your neighbours for a celebration of fresh air, new paths, and shared steps. It’s time to get out, get moving, and Walk This Way!
Mark your calendars: 28 July – 3 August. Barrow – Walk This Way!
All walks are free to attend. More information and booking can be found by following the links below!
