Walkers

East Berkshire Ramblers' Group
The Ramblers' Association promotes rambling, protects right of way, campaigns for access to open country and defends the beauty of the countryside.

We welcome visitors on our walks but after two or three walks ask you to join the Rambler's Association. As well as a regular program of walks varying in length from 4 - 12  miles, we publish local walks guides, organize coach connected walks and long distance walks in stages.
