The Winchester Ramblers

We are a friendly group with a comprehensive programme of about 250 walks a year and an active social programme. We also work to protect paths and the local countryside. You can try out three of our walks before joining the Ramblers.

There is usually a short walk on Tuesday from The Bell in St Cross. This is where to start if you are unsure of your fitness.

Thursday is our main walking day with a variety of distances. Sundays have walks in the 7 to 10 mile range. Monday is the day for longer and more challenging walks. Please book a place on these walks as some reach the practical limit. You can sign up for email alerts.

Where we walk

Mostly we walk throughout the area from the New Forest to North Hampshire. Occasionally we take a trip further afield to London, Portsmouth or Poole.

Visiting Winchester

We have recently revised our booklet “14 Walks in and around Winchester”. This has six walks starting from the Guildhall (two with pushchair friendly variations) and seven accessible by public transport. Copies are available from the Tourist Information Centre.

You may also be able to book a place on one of our walks, though these are usually some distance away and will take a half or full day.

Winchester Walking Festival 2024
