Walking in the West Midlands

The West Midlands 40+ Walking Group (WM40+) is one of the wider Warwickshire Ramblers groups and offers a varied walking programme, mainly at the weekends. Walks are led by local volunteers from a wide area, so you can enjoy walks throughout the West Midlands, including Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Shropshire. 

We are a friendly group and Ramblers from other groups or new members are always welcome, generally our walkers are aged over 40. We have around 100 active members and there is a growing Meetup group

Our walks and more

Our walks are around 8 – 12 miles (some shorter, some longer) and vary from half-day outings starting at 10.30 am to more challenging hill walking over longer distances. We try to include a pub or café stop along the way and there is often an optional drink at the end. 

You will also be able to enjoy occasional evening walks, a monthly social event, occasional bike rides during the summer and walking weekends or holidays weeks in places further afield. This is a great way to make new friends, get fit and explore some of the more rural parts of the West Midlands.

Campaign with us - protect the places we walk

Walking is a simple pleasure that should be open to everyone, so we campaign to remove barriers to walking and we protect the places we love to wander.
