Walking in Colchester and beyond

Welcome to the Colchester Ramblers. We walk regularly in and around Colchester, North East Essex and South Suffolk, with occasional walks further afield.

We have an active walks programme throughout the year with short and longer walks on Wednesdays and a mix of short and longer walks on Sundays. During the summer we also have walks on Friday evenings to gently ease you into the weekend. 

Walks are of various lengths and durations with the vast majority between five and ten miles. On Wednesday's there usually is a choice of short or longer walks, with Sunday walks being longer. If you've not walked before contact one of the committee to get advice on which walks are best to start on.

If would like to join us for a taster walk, for information and details of joining the Colchester Ramblers please click on this link to go to our website.  Alternatively email any queries you have to info@colchester-ramblers.co.uk

 We hope to see you on a walk soon
