Welcome

We are the Ramblers. We open the way for everyone to enjoy the simple pleasures of walking. And we step up to protect the places we all love to wander.

We are the Ramblers: Britain’s walking charity  

Whether you’re a wild-weather wanderer, a solitary stroller, a hardcore hiker or a weekend walk-and-talker, there’s no one way to ramble. 

And there’s no one way to support our work. Donate to fund action on the ground, use your voice to campaign for change, or volunteer to help others enjoy the outdoors.  

Donate. Campaign. Volunteer. Join
