Walking the Merthyr Valley and beyond

We are a local ramblers group based in Merthyr Tydfil although many members come from towns and villages in surrounding valleys. We are lucky to have some of the country’s best walking destinations within easy reach. Our location is at the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park while the Usk & Wye Valleys, Gower & Glamorgan Heritage Coast are all close by. 

Our walking community

Our Group helps local people enjoy walking and protect the places we all love. We usually walk on Saturdays, the programme providing walks throughout the year with a variety of distances and grades to suit all tastes. In addition, we organise a weekend of walking in other parts of the country, usually in early May.  

Please find a list of our upcoming events here.
