Festival of Winter Walks 2019-2020
It is nearly that time oy year again for the Festival of Winter Walks. Between the 20th of December 2019 and the 5th of January 2020 all of the Groups in Devon will be providing walks for all to enjoy during this festive season. An interactive list of walks is available to view or download here and from the TITLE BAR of each walk you can click to view more details of the walks. Some of these walks are a good opportunity to bring family and friends along to enjoy the countryside where they live or where they are visiting at this time of year.

The Group are very friendly and will make you welcome!
We produce a comprehensive walks programme twice a year which also includes some social events. some of our walks are "themed" and may be led by someone with a particular interest in flowers; fauna or local history. Go to the Walks Programme tab below to view our current walks. You are welcome to try us out for three walks to see if rambling is for you! If you like the experience we would hope that you would then join the Ramblers Association.
The walks offered by our Group are varied in distance and varied in the days we walk on.
We offer some evening walks in the Spring and Summer.
Once a month we offer a "Nice & Easy" walk designed to be at a gentle pace and an introduction to walking with a Group.
Some of our walks involve using public transport to enable a linear route to be followed.
