With challenging hikes, panoramic views, and immersive cultural experiences can you imagine trekking this iconic landmark, all in the name of raising vital funds for Bolton Hospice?

We're now accepting bookings to do just that, on our 2027 Great Wall of China Trek!

From 21st-29th September 2027, join a group of Bolton Hospice supporters on an iconic journey along one of the most extraordinary structures ever built, the Great Wall of China. This epic overseas challenge takes you along a remote and atmospheric stretch of the wall, far from the busy tourist areas, offering an unforgettable blend of adventure, culture, and history.

This trek is considered moderate to challenging and is best suited to participants with a good general level of fitness. The Great Wall is built across rolling hills, and many sections include long, steep staircases, some restored and even others uneven, broken, or worn down into rocky slopes by centuries of weathering.

You can expect to walk for 5–8 hours each day across a mix of steps, stone pathways, and natural hillside trails. The constant up-and-down climbing can be demanding, so preparation is essential.

Want to find out more before booking? 

Join us at our Great Wall of China Information evening from 6pm 13th May at Bolton Hospice's Wellbeing Hub. RSVP here if you're planning on joining us.
