Welcome to the Nottingham and Derby Walking Group

Notts & Derby Walking Group is an inclusive walking group, attracting walkers of all ages including 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s+ and is affiliated to The Ramblers.

We organise regular guided walks on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesday evenings, and regular social events too.

We welcome both novice and seasoned walkers, and offer routes ranging from short evening strolls to full days in the hills.

Most of our activities take place in the Peak District National Park, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire, with occasional trips further afield and long weekends away.

How can I get involved?

All of our walks are open to any member of The Ramblers.

Even if you aren’t a member, you are welcome to come along on up to three walks free of charge. For more information, see our guide for first time walkers.

You can also chat to us on our Facebook group.

Next Walk:

09:45 Sunday 18 October 2026
Navigation Course

Start point: Mayfield (details on sign-up

Easy. Leader: Katie Szkornik & Rachel Johnson.

The day is aimed at beginners or a refresher for the rusty. It will cover basic navigation using OS maps and Ramblers Walks Leader training. We will not specifically cover compass/bearing skills. The morning will be based in the hall, with the afternoon spent navigating and leading a short practice walk. We’ll cover navigation and walk-leading skills, and the day is aimed at beginners or those with limited experience. Where possible, we’ll tailor the training to suit different levels of experience. The training will cover the material covered in the Ramblers Leaders training so will qualify you to lead walks for the group. The cost is £10 per person. If you go on to lead a walk for the group after completing the course, you’ll receive a £10 voucher to use on an NDWG weekend.
