Welcome to Derby & South Derbyshire Ramblers

The Ramblers’ Association (RA)  is dedicated to protecting footpaths and other places to which the public has a right of way or access on foot, defending the beauty of the countryside and promoting walking for all.

The RA in the UK (England, Scotland, and Wales) has more than 140,000 members in 54 Areas and over 450 local groups.

 

Derby & South Derbyshire are one of the groups within the Derbyshire Area.

The Derbyshire Area

White Edge, Froggatt, Derbyshire

of the RA covers most of Derbyshire, including some of the Peak District National Park. Derbyshire Area has more than 1700 members in four local groups. They are are Amber Valley, Derbyshire Dales, Derby & South Derbyshire and Erewash.

In addition the Derbyshire Family Rambling Group caters for those with children; the Notts & Derby Walking Group caters for people in their 20s and 30s throughout the Derbyshire and Nottingham. 

Campaigning work:  The Association works tirelessly defending and promoting access for walkers and was at the forefront of the implementation of The Countryside and Rights of Way (CRoW) Act.  The next great cause is for coastal access: the right to walk along beaches, clifftops and foreshore.
