Walking in and around Guildford

We are a friendly and sociable Ramblers group with over 300 members. Our regular guided walks explore the stunning Surrey countryside, and occasionally further afield into Hampshire and Sussex. The North Downs and Surrey Hills are on our doorstep.  

We offer the opportunity to enjoy the natural world and meet new people. We typically include a picnic or a visit to a tea room or pub during our walks. You are welcome to join us for an exploratory walk before becoming a Ramblers member. Guildford members enjoy social events and opportunities for longer walking trips exploring other parts of the country. 

Our walks

We usually walk between 5 - 7 miles on a Wednesday morning each week. At weekends we offer day walks covering 8 - 12 miles. We also offer some slower, easy 3 - 4 mile walks every month.  

Volunteering

All members are encouraged to lead group walks. Walk Leader training and group mentoring is available. Our active footpath maintenance group work with the Surrey Council Countryside Team to improve access to the countryside; replacing stiles, installing gates, building steps and clearing vegetation.
