Many of our walks are local half day or evening walks and are usually about 5-6 miles. Our full day walks are usually further afield and vary between 8 and 10 miles and are of moderate difficulty. Distances, starting places with OS map grid references and the estimated duration of walks are included in our walks programme
On all of our walks boots and a waterproof clothing are essential. On full day walks you will need to bring a packed lunch and a drink.
We have an occasional coach ramble.

You do not need to be a member of the Ramblers before joining one of the walks. Why not try us out and then ask for details of membership.
