four walkers going past ruins of a castle

Hiking in Essex

We’re one of the 500 Ramblers groups who help our local community to discover and enjoy walking in the local area and beyond. We’re committed to protecting the places we all love to walk to make sure they remain open to everyone. Our group covers all of Essex and walks vary around the county.

Our regular group walks are a great way to experience the outdoors and explore new places safely and in good company. You’ll get a warm welcome from our experienced walk leaders and like-minded walkers. 

We’d love you to join us on a group walk, or to get involved with our work looking after paths and green spaces.

If you’ve got any questions about this group’s walks or how we’re helping to protect the local environment, get in touch using the contact details on this page.
