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 is a classic! We walk through Endcliffe park and keep going past forge damn till we enter the peak district, then since the view is so good in the evening we will walk back the way we came.I'm aiming to hit the porter-brook trail as the turn-about endpoint (where we will return to endcliffe park) but since this is an evening walk I will turn back before it gets dark regardless of how far we get.
This is an EVENING walk! Please dress warmly for evening weather. I don't plan on leading you in the dark but just in case please bring a head-torch if you have one. Bring coat and good walking boots as it may get harder to see the ground and mud once it gets late.

Book here: https://www.ukrunningevents.co.uk/events/inflatable-5k/bakewell-derbyshire-2026The Inflatable 5K is a fun circuit of inflatable obstacles, slides and tunnels. The whole route is a 2.5k lap, so by doing 5k we get to go round it twice! You can buy tickets online, when booking choose the 5k option for 12:30pm. It’s £38.50 per person. Once we’ve done the event we can look at the expensive food and drink stands in the showground or walk back into Bakewell and go to the pub!
They suggest arriving 30-45mins before the event, so planning to meet at Bakewell Square 11:30 - 11:45 then we can walk down together to the showground!
All info on what you can and can’t bring is on their site. Any loose items you’ll need to put in a bags which you can put in their bag drop for £3. There are also toilets in the showground and a drink station halfway round the course.
Light running clothing is recommended, good running shoes instead of hiking boots. Also a raincoat in case it rains on the day.
There is no on site parking for the event, however there are plenty of car parks around Bakewell. As this will be a busy event it might be difficult finding parking spaces so plan to arrive with that in mind.
Same with buses, might be good to get earlier times in case of it being busy or bus delays.
The 218 Peakline leaves Sheffield interchange at 10:10, to arrive at Bakewell Square for 11:09. There’s also the 10:40 that gets in for 11:39.
