About us
Interested in exploring Brighton and Hove on foot?
We're a group of urban ramblers that set out on monthly walks around the city, taking in some of the favourite sites and places as well as exploring off the usual beaten track and getting out of the city boundaries a bit.
Walks can be anything up to about four miles; take place at a leisurely but not slow pace; tend to be on a Sunday morning between 11:00 and 13:00; dogs welcome unless there are explicit restrictions. The area is hilly so expect some gentle hill climbing.
Attendees must be fit and capable of walking for approximately four miles on, the sometimes uneven surfaces of, the roads around Brighton & Hove. You’re expected to follow the regular ‘rules of the road’ so please ensure it’s safe to cross and don’t just follow the person in front of you. Use your common sense!
The rambles aren't 'guided tours' but do have a theme, usually around local history or architecture. Some walks may be lead by a specialist guide but otherwise the ramble leads may know a bit about the architecture and heritage of the routes and we all chip in with what we know about the area we're rambling as we walk along.
Brighton and Hove Urban Ramblers was founded by Dr Cara Courage and is now run by Kevin Wilsher.

Constable in Brighton
Brighton Railway Station, Brighton station, Queens Rd, Brighton BN1 3XP, Brighton, GBA ramble around central Brighton and Hove in search of some of the locations painted by John Constable when he was in Brighton from 1824 to 1828. We’ll visit the house him and his wife Maria stayed in around half way round.
We'll start at Brighton station and finish on the seafront near the Palace Pier.
We’ll aim to finish by 13:00
Meet at the front of Brighton station near the Travel Centre and toilets. Look for the chap in the blue and white baseball cap with a blue B on the front.
Terrain: No significant hills.
Toilets: At the beginning at Brighton station and on the seafront.
I’ve been asked by Meetup to take part in an experiment as they’re exploring whether a dedicated WhatsApp group for event attendees helps with turnout and on-the-day logistics, and the best way to find out is to learn from organizers actually running one.

If you'd like to help me pay the Meetup charges, I'll happily accept a two-pound donation at the end. Lots of people don't carry cash now so I do have an electronic solution subject to mobile phone signal!30 attendeesConstable in Brighton
