(KT10) Bromley Group

We are a large, friendly and welcoming Group with the aim of offering a variety of at least four walks of different lengths each and every week. Our longer walks usually involve a pub stop.

Give us a try!

This is one of hundreds of Ramblers group walks for all ages and abilities every week - all led by our experienced walk leaders.

You’re welcome to join us on any of our walks to see if the Ramblers is for you. Then, once you’ve enjoyed the views, fun, exhilaration and good company, it’s just a case of becoming a member.

Do make sure you're fit enough and have the right footwear and clothing for the walk you want to do, though. You can contact the group or leader if in doubt.
