Walking events calendar

From leisure rambles to long-distance challenges, there's a walk to suit anyone. It's the ultimate low intensity exercise, with its own inherent rewards as you explore the best of Britain's cities and countryside. It's a year-round activity for all ages and abilities.

You can find sociable local days out and multi-day challenge walks, and everything in between.

FINDING A WALK TO SUIT

Rambles and walks
These are short walks in gentle, rolling countryside - it's all about the joy of walking. You'll be part of a group and guided by a local expert.

Hill walks
You'll walk up a summit or two as part of a guided group. Distances vary but they're usually challenging - the panoramic views are worth it.

Long distance walks
Walks of 13 miles or more are a significant test - that's half marathon distance or longer! Most take place within a day but can be over a weekend or through the night.
