A warm welcome across England and Wales
YHA hostels are ready to welcome tentative trekkers and hardened hikers during YHA’s Festival of Walking.
Our staff are knowledgeable about local routes and things to see and do in the area. Plus, many of our places are stocked with maps and other items that are handy for walkers.
Whether you join an organised event, stop in at one of our cafes en route or use YHA as a convenient base for your walk, we hope you have a great day out in the great outdoors.
