About

The Rossendale Group is one of around 500 groups in the Ramblers charity.  Our group has around 170 members, and is regarded as one of the friendliest groups in the area.  We are a family friendly group, so children under 18 can join a walk for free with their parent, grandparent, or guardian. Risk Assessments are completed before all walks. As you can see below, we have walks for just about every level of ability, so do please give us a try.

We walk around 9-11 miles every Wednesday and one Sunday in the month.  We also run 6-ish mile walks on three Sundays of most months.  On some Fridays we organise 9-12 mile linear walks involving local transport one way, but on some other Fridays we do some very different – often quite challenging – walks.  About once a year we organise a major challenge walk such as the Yorkshire 3 Peaks.

Finally, for those of you with less time or less energy, we have 2 hour local pub walks on one Saturday morning and one Thursday evening in the summer months, and on 1st & 3rd Saturday mornings in the rest of the year.  These pub walks are very sociable occasions, and are ideal for new walkers and working people. We also organise a variety of social events, including a Garden Party, Christmas and New Year meals, theatre trips, etc.

Many of our walks exploit the beauty of the local scenery but often we go further afield to the Yorkshire Dales, the Peak District, or the Lakes.  Do have a browse around our site, especially our Walks Schedule and Safeguarding Policy.  If you want more information or would like to join us on one of our many walks, please feel free to contact us.
