About us
We are a social walking club based in Sheffield aimed at people in their 20s and 30s. The group has been around since July 2002 and has been growing steadily ever since – currently we have around 200 members! We are part of the Ramblers, Britain's largest walking charity.
We're always on the lookout for new members, so please book on to a walk or social, or come along to one of our monthly New Members' Nights.
More events and further information about the group is listed on our Web page: https://www.sheffieldwalkinggroup.org.uk/
Being a Ramblers affiliated group we encourage our participants to join the Ramblers Association. This allows you to attend our great weekends away and get other Ramblers benefits. It also helps support the great work that Ramblers do to keep the countryside open to all and to fight for the things that matter most to walkers. You can read more about the work done by Ramblers here.
We have walks of varying lengths every weekend in the Peak District or the South Yorkshire countryside.
We have an active Socials programme ranging from meals out and cinema trips to dancing and pool championships, not to mention a Easter Egg, Pub Hunt and a Christmas Party every year. There's something for everyone!
We organise weekends away to beautiful locations across the UK such as Snowdonia, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. They're a great opportunity to see some of the most picturesque parts of the country and take a break from work and the city for a very reasonable price.
We’re a Ramblers group run by volunteers who we rely on to keep it going. There are lots of ways to get involved, so if you’d like to lead a walk, organise a social or join the committee, we’d love to hear from you!

This walk explores Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire. Starting from Worksop town centre, we have a mile or so on road through residential areas before we get out into the countryside. We then walk on paths through forests and green space to reach Clumber Park itself.
We cross through Hardwick Village and aim to stop for lunch and a cuppa by the lake (there are kiosks but would recommend bringing food with you for lunch). Then we then continue walking by the lake before walking across the vast parkland and forest before heading on tracks across parkland to the edge of Worksop. We then have a shorter walk-through residential streets back to the start.Please note that the walk leader has checked with the National Trust and there is no obligation to pay an admission fee as we will be sticking to public footpaths. If you wish to visit other parts of the estate (time permitting) you would need to buy a ticket.
Whilst this is a relatively flat walk, please note it is fairly long and we will need to maintain a fairly fast pace.
Public transport or car sharing options: Please offer lifts on Meetup if you can. There is plenty of car parking in Worksop but mostly pay and display.
Public transport option is the 08.38 train from Sheffield arriving at 09.07. It is then an easy 15-20 minute walk to the starting time leaving time for late trains or to pick up some lunch. The walk leader will be travelling by train and will wait on the platform at Worksop. Return trains are hourly. There are also bus options from surrounding areas.
