The Association encourages walking, protects Rights of Way, defends the beauty of the countryside and has campaigned for many years for freedom to roam over uncultivated, open country.

Let us introduce ourselves

The Farnham & District Group has about 400 members.  We are a sociable group whose primary aim is for members to enjoy walking in the countryside with an interesting variety of scenery; we walk in SW Surrey, East Hampshire and West Sussex.  We organise regular weekly walks on several days of the week throughout the year, including bank holidays.  We have walks on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and occasional shorter walks on a Monday, and some evening walks in the summer months.  There is a good spread of both long and short walks with distances varying from 3 miles to 11 miles, with the occasional walk of up to 16 miles for the more energetic on Sundays.  In addition we enjoy a wide range of social events, and have walking holidays twice a year, usually in the Spring and Autumn.

Non members are welcome to walk with us as a visitor on one or two occasions, but we would then expect them to join the Ramblers' Association if they wanted to walk with us on a more regular basis.

Wonderful woodland walking

Festival of Winter Walks

Join us on one of our spring rambles in 2008 and enjoy the local countryside at its best!

We had 8 rambles in the Festival of Winter Walks 2007/2008 programme.  A total turnout of 210 was recorded for all the walks, with 14 new members being welcomed to the group.

Pictures taken on these rambles are available to view by visiting our Special Events photos page.
