If you are looking to join a welcoming and friendly walking group – look no further!  Cirencester Group is part of the Gloucestershire Area Ramblers and covers the south-east of the county between Northleach, Tetbury, Stroud and Lechlade, although some of our walks take us outside of this area.

Since our foundation in 1974, our aim has been to encourage people to join our group in order to explore this attractive area of the Cotswolds and Thames Valley, in addition to meeting new friends. 

We arrange a walk most Sundays, between 4 and 10 miles in length, in our locality and in neighbouring countryside.  There are occasional away weekends and other social events such as quiz nights and the annual Strawberry Tea.  Also we exchange visits with a German rambling group.

Cirencester Group looks forward to extending a warm welcome to you on our walks  - so why not come along and find out more.  After a few outings we have no doubt you will want to join the Ramblers.  All you need is suitable clothing/footwear, refreshments and, on longer walks, a packed lunch. Please note we do not accept dogs on our walks.

Ramblers’ membership entitles you to discount at certain retail outlets including Cotswold Outdoor, Millets and Blacks. 

If you would like further information, please contact us – we look forward to hearing from you and to welcoming you to our Group.

Join the Ramblers.

If you walk regularly with our Group you will be expected to join the Ramblers' Association. As well as the opportunity to join our local Group on walks, you'll receive many other benefits click on the Ramblers Association on our Links page for details.  You can also find details of walks with other RA groups in the Gloucestershire and Wiltshire area on the Links page.

The Ramblers' Association promotes rambling, protects rights of way, campaigns for access to open country and defends the beauty of the countryside.
