Welcome to the Forfar and District group. We are ideally situated for access to the beautiful Angus countryside and coast, as well as forays into surrounding areas such as Perthshire and Fife.
We are a small friendly group who enjoy getting together for fresh air, exercise and socialising. Our walks are usually between 4 - 8 miles in length, on varying terrains. We walk every fortnight on Saturdays and have introduced midweek strolls. When possible, we finish with a visit to a cafe.
