Walking in and around Alton

Our members come from Alton and neighbouring parishes, and we walk in a large areas of East Hampshire and the South Downs, with interesting varieties of scenery, and also in London.  

 There is a range of walks on any day of the week, usually from 5 to 10 miles in length. During the summer we also have evening walks. We also run walking holidays away from the area, twice a year.  

Our walking community

Our group helps local people enjoy walking and protect the places we all love to walk. We organise regular walks with local leaders, which is a great way to get outside, make new friends and discover how walking boosts your health and happiness.  

Everyone is very welcome to try walking with us, or to get involved in looking after paths and green spaces and opening up new places to explore. 

We are a very friendly group and enjoy a range of social events. Our priority is for all our members to enjoy their walking and membership. We have published two books on walks in our area. Take a look at our website to find out more.
