A NEW festival has been added to Stroud's blossoming calendar of annual events.
The Stroud Spring Walking Festival 2013 will see eight guided walks take place over nine days in mid-April.
Each will start and finish at The Lake at The Lawn off Cainscross Road.
The festival begins on Saturday, April 13 at 1pm with the opportunity to be the first walkers to complete the new Cainscross Circular.
Two short walks explore the local history of Dudbridge and five local nature sites, whilst another follows the Ruscombe Brook from its source.
For the serious walker there is a 19 mile midweek marathon taking in seven valleys and six lakes. Beer lovers will enjoy An Ale Of A Walk on Friday, April 19.
All walks are free-of-charge with no need to book. Copies of the Festival programme can be collected from the Cainscross Parish Council Office, Westward Road; Stroud Town Council Office, London Road and Stroud Tourist Office in the Subscription Rooms. Full details are also available online at www.stroudlandtrust.co.uk.
