Go on a Ramblers group walk
A friend has invited you to do this with them.
Ramblers groups across Britain put on led walks through the year, each guided by a walk leader who knows the route. Every walk carries a difficulty grading, so you can tell before you set out whether it is a flat few miles or a long day on the hills.

How to start
- Enter your postcode in the Ramblers group walks search to see what is coming up nearby.
- Read the difficulty grading and the walk details, and choose one within your range.
- Contact the group named on the listing to say you are coming, and take walking boots, waterproofs and lunch.
Where to go
We opened this link on 8 October 2026 and found it to be what we say. Dates, places and prices are on the official page, where they stay up to date.
Plan this
Pick a day, or a month, and we will set out how to get ready, step by step, with a date and a reason for each. The hard part of a day out is the timing: the right season, tickets and getting there. The plan watches the calendar for you.
