The Ramblers is Britain’s walking charity. We open the way so everyone can enjoy the benefits of walking.
It’s easy to think everyone has the same opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. But look a little deeper and you’ll find lots of barriers standing in the way. So we’re continuing to fight for change. We campaign for the public’s right to enjoy the outdoors, protect paths, build skills and offer different ways to get out walking in nature.
Our programmes have a big impact in local communities: Ramblers Wellbeing Walks help people take the first step to a healthier happier lifestyle, and the Ramblers Out There Award gives young adults aged 18–26 the opportunity to kickstart their journey into the outdoors.
