Britain’s biggest and most vibrant walking community

There are many beautiful and inspiring places to walk in Britain. From impressive coastlines and rugged mountains to enchanted woodlands and open moorlands, you can explore them all with the Ramblers.

Whether you choose to walk with a local walking group or friends and family using the detailed walking routes, you’ll discover a vast choice of circular walks, well-trodden paths and hidden tracks, all tried and tested by Ramblers volunteers.

Walks for everyone

The Ramblers app

The Ramblers member-only app is the best place to browse the thousands of exclusive walking routes and Ramblers group walks across England, Scotland and Wales.

There’s also a great selection of discounts and offers on walking gear, gadgets and walking guides, as well as great stories and walking features.

Find a walking group

There are more than 500 Ramblers groups across Britain. Between them they organise a total of 50,000 group walks each year.

All group walks are led by entirely local volunteers and rated by difficulty, distance, walking time and type so you know what to expect before you start walking. You can find Ramblers groups by location or postcode, or browse by area online and on the Ramblers app.

New City, New Adventures

‘In 2021, I got a new job which meant that I had to move to Manchester. I didn’t know anyone and being new in a big city can be a bit daunting. I did some research into ways to meet new people and came across the Ramblers MAD (Manchester and District) Walkers.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I turned up for my first Saturday walk, but I was so excited when I got to Manchester Piccadilly train station and found about 40 people all my age ready and waiting with their walking boots on!’

Discover walking routes

If you prefer to set your own pace, rather than walk with a group, the Ramblers have a library of more than 4,000 tried-and-tested walking routes, perfect for when you’re out with the kids, your dogs or going solo.

Walks range from long to short, and easy to more challenging. Wherever you are in Britain you can find new routes online by location or postcode, or in the Ramblers app.

Opening up the world of walking

‘My son, Eddie, is mostly non-verbal, and his world has become increasingly small in recent years, first with COVID-19 lockdowns, then with the end of his course at college. But now, with Ramblers routes, Sundays are pretty much given over to a ‘Big Walk’ by Eddie and me.’

Signposts and waymarkers are a favourite topic for him, and he often seems interested in ‘non-standard’ views. For example, he seems fascinated by the bright green of moss covering old trees.’

Wellbeing Walks without bounds

Ramblers Wellbeing Walks are free short walks in England led by experienced volunteers. They’re designed to give those who are new to walking a chance to try it in a friendly, supportive environment.

With hundreds of walks happening every week, you’re sure to find one nearby. You don’t need to register, just find a Ramblers Wellbeing Walk online, put on some comfy shoes and join in.

The shortest Ramblers Wellbeing Walks are just 10 minutes long – and mobility limitations aren’t an issue as most walks are accessible to all. Just drop the walk organiser a message to check the route is right for you.

Being outside and feeling euphoric

‘It might be surprising to people, as I’m quite outgoing, but I suffer with anxiety. Ramblers wellbeing walks is one of the best things I’ve done for a long time, it’s so beneficial for your whole body and mind’.

Their aim is to make walking accessible for everyone.

Can family and friends join me on a group walk? 

Boundless Plus members can nominate one named adult from their home address to accompany them on group walks. You can also invite another adult guest up to three times a year for free.

Children under the age of 18 are also welcome along if they’re accompanied by a Boundless Plus member. The Ramblers recommend that you check the route’s suitability in advance to make sure that your child can complete it at a reasonable pace.

Are dogs welcome on group walks? 

The Ramblers encourage their walking groups to welcome dogs. Of course, some routes aren’t ideal for dogs, like walks which go near farm animals. Always check with the walk leader before bringing along your dog. Assistance dogs are welcome on all walks and where a group does not wish members to bring dogs on their walks, they will state ‘Assistance Dogs Only’.

Can I walk with any Ramblers Group?  

Yes - you can join any of the Ramblers group walks detailed online or in the Ramblers app. When you first activate your free membership, you’ll be allocated to a group based on your postcode.
