Walks Grading System
-
1 Boot - Easy
Low level routes without any steep climbs, taken at a relaxed pace. Shoes or boots with grip on the soles should be worn.
-
2 Boot - Moderate
Walks may have some short sections of steep ground, but if there are, they will be taken at a relaxed pace. The routes may be on open hill.
-
3 Boot - Energetic
Walks generally involve one or two steep climbs. These walks are suitable for those who can manage distances but not too many ascents/descents.
-
4 Boot - Strenuous
Walks require fitness and stamina to cover steep climbs on the open hills and will cover a long distance at a steady pace.
Before booking, please do take note of our Walks’ Terms & Conditions and Safety Information, here. In particular, there are no refunds and, due to it being lambing season and there being ground-nesting birds, dogs are not allowed on any walks.
Also, to respect the environment, we encourage adoption of the Hike Up, Pick Up scheme.
Tulip Teas - in aid of Talgarth Community Library
Library volunteers will be hosting tea & cakes & tulip viewing from 10am to 6pm every day throughout the 2025 Talgarth Walking Festival at 1 New Street, Talgarth, LD30AH

** Friday Evening Talk Event **
We will warmly welcome Nick Busby, who will talk on:
‘Exploring Dark Skies’
A presentation about Bannau Brycheiniog Dark Sky Reserve, the 1st International Dark Skies Reserve in the UK and the 5th in the World!
How we achieved international dark sky reserve status.
Why we achieved it.
What we have to do to maintain the status.
How we can all help to reduce our lighting and why it matters.
Resources they can use.
Some stunning photos of galaxies etc.
The evening event is free of charge, open to all and in particular we welcome all Talgarth residents who might enjoy this chance to hear what we are sure will be a fascinating and educating talk. A pay bar will be available. The event is offered on a first come, first served basis and will be limited to 100 guests, so we advise obtaining tickets through the normal booking process for this event.
