About Our Walks

Walk leaders when planning walks should stay on public rights of way (footpaths, bridleways, and byways) especially when crossing farmland or private property. Walking on private land without permission is considered trespassing in England and Wales.

  • Walking distance around 4.0 miles on track and field paths
  • Stout shoes or boots needed
  • Fresh air and exercise in the countryside
  • Friendly group of people

We meet on the first and third Wednesday of the month. The walks are around 4 miles followed by an optional cup of coffee / tea at nearest place. We are a sociable group and new members are always welcome. If you have a favourite walk, please arrange with the Group Convenor to lead it.
