Overview

The Walsall Group of The Ramblers seeks to bring the pleasures of walking to as many people as possible in the Walsall Metropolitan Area. We feel that being in a predominantly urban environment is no reason not to be involved in walking with the group. We have excellent motorway and road links from the town and hence we can be in many completely different areas of the Midlands within an hour of setting off.

Our primary Walks Programme provides two different types of walking experiences throughout the programme's six-monthly period. We have Main Walks which are generally in the region of 10 miles or so and tackle slightly tougher terrain and also Leisure Walks which are up to 7.5 miles and are taken at a slightly slower (more leisurely) pace. We run one of these alternately on each Sunday throughout the year.

We also have a Fortnightly Saturday Walks Programme throughout the year with walks up to 4 miles for those who are either new to walking or have perhaps not walked for a while. These are designed to gently encourage potential new members to try us out in a safe and friendly atmosphere. These walks are generally held within about 30 minutes of travelling time from Walsall itself.
