Clackmannanshire welcomes you to our second Walking Festival, 17 to 21 September 2009, which celebrates the county’s magnificent scenery, heritage and wildlife. Please come and join our walk leaders on a variety of walks suitable for all ages and abilities. Clackmannanshire Tourism Ltd, a not for profit organisation aimed at furthering tourism within the county, has brought together a number of organisations and individuals to organise this exciting event. Clackmannanshire boasts a dramatic landscape with flat carseland on the north bank of the River Forth and the dominant Ochil Hills. It also has a rich history - in the last three centuries the county has seen the rise and decline of many industries which have left their mark on the landscape. From ship building on the Forth to the mill towns of the Hillfoots there are many stories to tell. The walks are free, although there is an admission cost for Castle Campbell and Alloa Tower as well as for some of the ale, and are led by knowledgeable and friendly volunteers. We look forward to seeing you on the walks and hope you have a wonderful time. |
