The Hyndburn Ramblers, an active walking group, are inviting residents to join their regular guided walks throughout the year. The group explores the local countryside of Hyndburn, the Ribble Valley, and surrounding areas, offering a chance to discover scenic routes and enjoy outdoor exercise.
Weekly Walk Schedule
The group organises walks every Wednesday and Sunday, catering to different preferences and fitness levels. Wednesday walks cover either seven or 10 miles, while Sunday outings focus on 10-mile journeys. These regular sessions provide a consistent opportunity for walkers to engage with nature and socialise with fellow enthusiasts.
According to the group's schedule, the upcoming September routes feature a 10-mile walk in Silverdale, a picturesque coastal village known for its limestone pavements and scenic bay views. This walk is expected to attract both new and returning members.
October Routes and Beyond
In October, the planned routes include 10-mile walks around Barley, a village in the Ribble Valley, and a circular route in Bacup, a town in the Rossendale Valley. These walks are designed to showcase the diverse landscapes of Lancashire, from rolling hills to historic settlements.
The group also regularly ventures further afield, with excursions to North Yorkshire, the Forest of Bowland, and the Lake District. These trips offer more challenging and varied terrain for experienced walkers, while still being accessible to those willing to travel.
How to Get Involved
Anyone interested in joining the group or participating in an upcoming walk is welcome to get in touch.

With a full calendar of walks, the Hyndburn Ramblers provide an excellent opportunity for residents to stay active, explore the outdoors, and connect with the community. Whether you are a seasoned walker or a beginner, there is a route to suit you.
