Description

Dearne Valley Ramblers was founded in 1996 by local people that have a passion for walking and a love of our local areas, and this is still true today as we now have a membership of approximately 150 members.

As a group we primarily walk on a Sunday, but also walk on a Wednesday evening during the summer and Wednesday morning in the winter months making the most of the seasonal weather and daylight hours. 

We provide a wide variety of walks of varying distance and degrees of difficulty so that there is something for everyone.  

We cover the area between:

  • Rotherham
  • Barnsley
  • Doncaster

Including areas such as:

  • Swinton
  • Wath-upon-Dearne
  • Mexborough
  • Conisbrough

Most of our walks are within this area, but sometimes as a group we go further afield, including:

  • Derbyshire
  • York
  • Scarborough
  • Chesterfield

We all enjoy walking, however as a group, we do a little bit more, including:

  • Coach Trips
  • Quizzes
  • Social Events

Joining Us

All of our walks are free to attend, all we ask is that after your 3 introductory walks that you then join the Ramblers. We feel that these 3 introductory walks will give you chance to see if the Ramblers is for you. If you decide to join then membership starts at £3.05 per month, and is available here (please put "Dearne Valley" down on the application so you get added to our mailing list).

Children are welcome to join us on our walks, however we recommend that you know that your child can do the distance before you join the walk. All children under the age of 18 years must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent or guardian.

Dogs are also welcome to join us on our walks as most are dog-friendly. During our walks you may be required to keep your dog on a lead and under control but don't worry you will be advised by your walks leader on when this is needed.
