Walking in West Berkshire

Welcome to West Berkshire Ramblers. We are a friendly group of walkers providing a varied walks programme from short and slow at around four miles to more strenuous walks up to 12 miles.  

We are fortunate in West Berkshire to have an abundance of downland, woods, rivers, and canals with a well-maintained network of footpaths paths. We use these to walk on Tuesdays, Thursday, Saturdays, and Sundays with the addition of one Sunday a month coach walks further afield arranged from April to October. Details of all available walks can be found on our website at www.wberksramblers.org.uk. 

Rights of Way working parties are organised every two weeks to inspect, clear and maintain footpaths, and replace old styles with field gates.  

We are also actively involved in campaigning on countryside matters, regularly responding to footpath diversion proposals and planning applications that have the potential to impact the walking environment. Recently we have become actively involved in the National Lost Footpath Campaign.
