Opening the way 

The Ramblers opens the way for everyone to enjoy the simple pleasures of walking.  And we step up to protect the places we all love to wander. 

We're the only charity dedicated to removing barriers so everyone can enjoy walking in green spaces, and to improving Britain’s most popular and least-known walking places. We’re committed to campaigning to keep our countryside open to all and to fighting for the things that matter most to walkers. We lead the way, and the walks, for a vibrant community united by the joys of walking, helping everyone get more out of their walks.   

We are the Ramblers: Boosting Britain’s wellbeing one step at a time. 

 

Removing the barriers to walking 

The Ramblers is dedicated to removing barriers so everyone can enjoy walking in green spaces and to preserving and improving well-loved paths, tracks and trails across Great Britain. 

 

A community of over 100,000 walkers 

We’re Britain’s biggest and most vibrant walking community too. We lead the way, and the walks, for a community of over 100,000 walkers. And we help thousands more every year find their feet out in the open to boost their wellbeing naturally.

Growing members, supporters and income 

Diversifying our income streams and developing our service levels, membership offer and routes, to appeal to all walkers.
