Walking in Essex

Welcome to the Essex Area Ramblers. We are one of the largest areas in England, with 4000 members, and yet because we have 20 separate local groups, you will find your local Group small and friendly enough to get to know fellow walkers. Most Groups hold one or two walks each week, often with a pub lunch.  

By joining the Ramblers, you can either walk regularly with the same local Group, or you can dip in and out of other Groups’ walks in Essex, letting local walk leaders introduce you to the varied charms and historically fascinating attractions of this large county.  

We also lead several teams of volunteers around Essex, whose job is to help maintain and keep clear the hundreds of miles of Rights of Way, to ensure the outdoors is accessible to everyone.  

For all walk information, please note you will need to contact the specific Ramblers group. You will find a list of all Essex area groups below.

For any other inquiries, please get in touch via essexareahub@gmail.com
