Walking in and around Edinburgh

Welcome to Edinburgh Young Walkers (EYW), a walking group for people in their 20s, 30s and 40s based in Edinburgh.  

We have an active walks programme with a walk organised most weekends, and several weekends away each year. Our walks are a mix of hill walks, including Munros and Corbetts, and always popular lower level outings – so whether you’re new to walking, or never far from the mountains, we’ll happily welcome you! 

On the social side, we have a pub night every month, with additional events through the year, including the annual Christmas night out, wine tastings, boat trips and dinners to name a few! 

We organise all of our walks, weekends and socials through our website https://eyw.org.uk.

We also regularly post photos and videos from our recent adventures on our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/edinburghyoungwalkers/.
