Festival of Winter Walks Christmas Day 2010- 3 January 2011
Baxters are the Festival of Winter Walks sponsor for 2010, and this year we are starting the celebration a day early, beginning on Christmas Day itself! Together with the help of Ben Fogle we are encouraging families and friends to enjoy some good food and fresh air over the festive season.

For example: Bexley and Joyden's Wood Circular Sunday 2 January
Easy paced walk along the river Cray, uphill to Joyden's Wood, past the keeper's cottage, and back to Bexley for a pub lunch.

Hundreds of walks will take place around the country between Christmas Day and January 3rd, that are free, fun and open to anyone and everyone from toddlers to grandparents. Chosen and led by experienced Ramblers, the walks will showcase Britain at its wintry best. Many of the walks are short and family friendly, although there’ll be plenty of yomps for the seasoned hiker too.

Walks include:
• Walks in every nook and cranny of England, Scotland and Wales
• At least 300 walks under 5 miles
• Themed ‘cake walks’, tipsy toddles, and fancy dress strolls
• 100+ walks for people in their 20s and 30s

With so many wonderful routes all around the country, it really is the ideal time to explore the beautiful winter landscape. We’re urging everyone in Britain, whatever their age, stage or level of walking, to get out and join in the Festival of Winter Walks with Baxters.
