The Ramblers is Britain's biggest organisation working for walkers, a registered charity with 125,000 members across England, Scotland and Wales. The Ramblers has been looking after Britain's footpaths and defending its beautiful countryside for 75 years by

  • protecting Britain's unique network of public paths -- all too often, they are illegally blocked, obstructed and overgrown. We work with local authorities to make them a pleasure to walk on.
  • providing information to help you plan your walk and enjoy it in safety and comfort.
  • increasing access for walkers -- our work is helping to establish statutory rights of access to our countryside.
  • safeguarding the countryside from unsightly and polluting developments so that walkers can enjoy its tranquillity and beauty.
  • educating the public about their rights and responsibilities and the health and environmental benefits of walking so that everyone can enjoy our wonderful heritage.

You can obtain much more information about the Ramblers, and also join the Ramblers, via its website  http://www.ramblers.org.uk   The website covers such topics as:  getting started, local groups, walking for health, walking events, walking holidays etc etc.  Why not spend some time exploring the site!  As a member of the Ramblers you can join discussion groups and even seek people to join you on walks in particular areas.

The SE Hants group contributes to the national Ramblers work by supporting the formation of a South Downs National Park, by monitoring footpath condition in our area and reporting footpath problems, and by monitoring local planning applications and submitting objections if they are likely to have a negative impact on the footpath network or the surrounding countryside.  More information on each of these topics can be obtained by following appropriate links from the national RA website http://www.ramblers.org.uk
