What we care about
Our work to keep the countryside open to all and to fight for the things that matter most to walkers.
Our work
The Ramblers is a charity dedicated to removing barriers so everyone can enjoy walking in green spaces and to preserving and improving hundreds of thousands of miles of well-loved paths, tracks and trails across England, Scotland, and Wales. We're committed to campaigning to keep our countryside open to all and to fighting for the things that matter most to walkers.
Our successes
We fought to establish National Parks and National Trails – and we won. And we successfully campaigned for everyone to enjoy Britain's coastline on foot. We've helped open up vast swathes of the British countryside which was out of bounds, and we made sure laws were amended and added to keep it that way.
Our future focus
There’s still more to do. So we continue to secure support from government and help construct national and local policies and programmes to build a future fit for everyone everywhere to walk outdoors. We keep on engaging communities and organisations across England, Scotland, and Wales to help us achieve our ambitions. And we’re opening up a world of walking opportunities for even more people.
Outdoors Unlocked
We’re calling on the new government to introduce a transformational new Access to Nature Bill.
What we care about
Access
We’re committed to campaigning to keep our countryside open to be explored freely and we speak up on issues that matter to walkers.
Environment
We believe getting closer to nature through walking can give us all a boost to our wellbeing. We work to look after the environment for future generations.
Paths
Our paths are a gateway to the great outdoors, enabling us all to experience the joy of walking. That’s why we protect and improve this precious asset.
