When you join the Ramblers, we encourage you to join a local group. You’ll then be part of a local community of walkers and rights of way volunteers.
As a group member, you’ll be invited to join a mailing list to get alerts of upcoming group walks. You’ll also find a warm welcome at Ramblers group walks throughout Hampshire and, indeed, the country. You can search for walks on the national Ramblers website or app.
Just remember to check the walk details for any requirements or warnings, such as letting the leader know in advance that you will be attending.
Sometimes you might want to take a walk at your own pace, and the Ramblers website has a library of over 4,000 tried-and-tested routes across the country. There are long and short, easy and challenging options.
In Hampshire, we have a good number of long-distance paths, including 3 inspired or established by members of Hampshire Ramblers:
A 44-mile walk between Portchester and Winchester, in memory of Allan King, a former Hampshire Ramblers Publicity Officer. Allan King Way (PDF)
78 miles between Aldershot and Andover in memory of Brenda Parker, who was a very active Rambler in the north of the county. Brenda Parker Way
32 miles from the River Itchen’s source near Hinton Ampner to Southampton Water, promoted by the Eastleigh Group. Itchen Way (PDF)
