Welcome to Leicester & District Ramblers - For Fitness, Footpaths and Friendship
We are an active group with a large programme offering a variety of walks to suit all levels of walkers, including half-day and all day walks all year round, short evening walks in the summer, and all day walks further afield. We also offer a "car free" programme using public transport to either get you to the start or return home.
We walk all over Leicestershire and sometimes cross over the borders into neighbouring counties. You’ll get a warm welcome from our group whatever your age or experience.
Walking with us is a great way to explore Leicestershire including the historic geology and woodland of Charnwood Forest, the reclaimed former mining area which is now part of the National Forest, and historical sites including iron age forts and the Battle of Bosworth as well as many pretty villages, canals, rivers and abandoned railways.
So, if you’ve ever wondered where that footpath sign leads to, why not join us for a walk?
Want to find out more about the group? Please take a look at our programme by selecting the Walks tab . There's also lots of information listed under Articles.
- No limit to group sizes
- No pre-booking unless required for booking a meal after a Tuesday or Thursday morning walk as required by the pub
- Unfortunately, as we often use footpaths across fields with livestock we are unable to allow dogs on our walks
- Occasionally the starting point or other walk details have to be changed and each group endeavours to notify regular walkers by email and changes will also be shown in the Article entitled Changes to Walks. It is always worth checking this page before deciding to join a walk and also contacting the leader. This is especially important for the Tuesday and Thursday morning walks where there is an option to stay for a meal afterwards.
