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.
