Aims & Objectives

To promote walking in your area:

The Melton Mowbray Group of the Ramblers Association was formed in 1980 and actively promotes walking in Leicestershire, Rutland and surrounding counties.

St Mary's Church, Melton Mowbray (B Gaunt

We also monitor local footpaths to ensure they are maintained in good order and remain accessible to all. 

The Ramblers organisation maintains dialogue with National and Local Authorities and other related organisations to ensure footpaths are maintained, fit for use and accessible to all.

What do we Offer?

We organise regular walks in the East Midlands with occasional forays further a-field.  All walks are under the supervision of a leader

Our annual walks programme consists of:

Weekend walks of between 7 and 15 miles, Summer evening walks of 4 to 6 miles and winter Thursday morning walks of 6 to 8 miles.

We also organise one shorter walk each month, suitable for all ages, these average 3 to 4 miles and are to encourage parents to walk with their children, people wishing to start walking and those returning to walking after a long break.

Some walks will take in the local hostelry for lunch or supper or we may take a picnic lunch to enjoy in the heart of the countryside.

Enjoy the benefits of walking with a group.

You are welcome to join us on any walk without commitment, you can then decide if membership of the Ramblers Association is for you.

In addition to the group walks, we also have social evenings arranged locally why not join us for a little light relaxation on our varied events.
