Walking groups by city

How do I find a walking group near me?

Start with your city, then choose a group that feels right for your pace and the kind of walk you want.

Walking and rambling groups by city

Look for a stated meeting day, time and public meeting place. A walking group may be local and social, while a rambling or hiking group may cover longer routes or uneven ground. Read the group’s own page when you need more detail.

Before you go, ask about pace, distance, terrain, booking and anything you need to bring. On your first walk, arrive a little early and let the leader know you are new. It is fine to ask questions before the group sets off.

What should I ask before my first group walk?

Ask about the usual pace, distance, terrain, whether you need to book, and where the group meets. Check whether the walk is suitable for your needs before you go.

What should I expect on my first walk?

Arrive a little early, introduce yourself, and tell the leader if you are new. Bring water, wear footwear that suits the route, and ask if you are unsure about the pace or plan.
