Walking in Greater Manchester and beyond

Welcome to the Greater Manchester & High Peak area. Our walks are organised by ten groups based on the Metropolitan Boroughs of Greater Manchester and three non-geographical groups. The walks are wide-ranging, from peat-covered gritstone moors to country parks, urban green spaces and post-industrial urban landscapes of mills and canals, and extend beyond Greater Manchester and its surroundings. 

To promote environmentally friendly walks, many of our groups organise walks which make use of public transport connections and hired coaches. During a typical week there are more than 20 area and group walks, from moderate strolls with café stops to strenuous hikes - something for everyone! 

You can find out more about our groups below by clicking on the links to be taken through to their page for information on them and their upcoming walks and events.
