A warm welcome to Forth Valley, Fife and Tayside Area!

We have 13 Ramblers groups across the area and over 1300 members. We offer a wide selection of walks suitable for people with different levels of experience and fitness both at weekends and during the week. From family walks to leisurely walks to challenging days up Munros, there's something for everyone and something for all ages.

We extend a warm welcome to all new walkers, visitors and guests. You can walk with any group, please have a look at our list of walks and if you think you'd enjoy joining us, get in touch with the relevant group to check the walk is on and come along!

For further information, contact the Area Secretary Kasturi Dasgupta

We produce a 6-monthly Area Joint Programme, published in April and October. While this paper edition is very popular within the area, it does have its shortcomings. Circumstances change and walks may have to be cancelled or changed for various reasons. So the website of the Forth Valley, Fife and Tayside Area contains up to date information on the walks including any changes and cancellations. It is recommended that you check this website before going on a walk.

We hope you enjoy many wonderful walks with us!
