Oswestry Ramblers invite visitors to join them on some great walks to blow away Christmas indulgences

The antidote to Netflix and Christmas calories! Start the New Year in the great outdoors with Oswestry Ramblers.

Come and join us on one of our walks - you don't have to be a member but can come as a guest on three walks to try us out. We have over 180 members and we offer a varied programme of great walks. We usually walk twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays, with around 10-20 people on our walks. We are a friendly group and like to chat as we ramble.

Here are details of our upcoming walks, along with links to the Ramblers website where full details of all our walks are available.
