National Trust properties nationwide will be running more than 1,000 special activities from guided walks and long distance hiking to self-led trails and family orienteering.
The festival is in the half-term school holidays (22 – 30 October), reflecting its aim to reach families, and is being held in partnership with insurer PruHealth.
PruHealth CEO Neville Koopowitz said: "As one of the UK’s leading health insurers our core philosophy is to promote the awareness of leading a healthier life. We offer incentives and rewards to customers who exercise regularly. The Walking Festival around some of the beautiful National Trust sites is a perfect way for people to enjoying themselves whilst exercising."
