Walking in and around Rotherham

We are a friendly, sociable group with walks on Wednesdays and Saturdays.  Many, particularly the shorter routes, are within Rotherham Borough and South Yorkshire. The Peak District is obviously popular, but we also walk in West Yorkshire, the Yorkshire Wolds, North Nottinghamshire and South Derbyshire.

The choice of routes is down to our individual walk leaders who are volunteers from our members and occasionally local Rangers, who talk about the locality and points of interest.
