Exeter Ramblers

Our Group aims to give a warm welcome to everyone who comes along to our walks. Although based in Exeter, our walks take us throughout the county to the moorlands of Dartmoor and Exmoor, the coast path, towns and villages, fields and meadows of Mid, East, South and West Devon as well as Somerset and Dorset.

Full details of our Walks can be accessed through the Walks > Walks Programme tabs, or Our Next Walks.

We run a full programme of walks through the year. Our longer walks of 8-12 miles take place on Sundays and shorter mid-week walks of 5-7 miles on Thursdays. Sometimes there are also walks on other days and some leisurely ambles of up to 3 miles.

If you would like to join any of these walks, please contact the walk leader first, so they can tell you of any late changes to arrangements, help organise car sharing or answer any other questions.

In the first instance, there is no need to become a member as we run a taster policy of 3 walks before asking you to join the Ramblers, citing the Exeter and District Group as your preferred group.

Walking with a group is a friendly and safe way to discover the area and beyond. In our group we like to walk at a steady pace allowing time for conversation, a photograph or two, comfort stops, or simply to admire the places and points of interest along the way. Many of our walk leaders are happy to share their knowledge of Devon history and landmarks.
