Introduction - The Ramblers is more than a walking club. We are a registered charity that campaigns for the rights of walkers, promotes the benefits of walking on 38000 led walks a year, and helps keep footpaths maintained.

We are a local Group fortunate to be situated on the edge of the Peak National Park - the area provides the best of walking without the costs.

Parkland, farmland, moors, country parks, areas of outstanding natural beauty, and long distance trails are within easy reach.

We are a thriving group of volunteers who enjoy the exercise, scenery, and sociability of walking. Over 100 members lead group walks, and many others assist in distributing programmes, footpath maintenance, back marking and the other ways that help the group to function smoothly.

Our best adverts are our members and the comprehensive walks programme. Please feel free to give up to 3 walks a try.

Don’t forget when you join the Ramblers’ you can also take advantage of the walking programme of other groups.

Some people just go walking using public rights of way. We help make that possible.
