Walking Programme

We are a friendly group and walk at a comfortable and relaxed pace, enjoying the pleasure of being outside exploring beautiful countryside. Bodenham Ramblers started in Bodenham many years ago, and we now have members living all over Herefordshire and beyond. Between us, we have a wealth of local knowledge and the walk leaders delight in planning interesting, circular walks for us to enjoy our historic landscape.


If you like walking and finding out more about the world around you, why not try one of Bodenham Ramblers’ walks and consider joining our walking group?  You can expect a warm welcome.  


Details of forthcoming walks are regularly updated and set out below (please scroll down).  All walks start at 10.00am or 1030am unless indicated otherwise. There will be a coffee stop and usually a picnic stop, so bring your lunch (as well as your mobile phone). Guest walkers welcome! 


If you'd like to join any of the walks listed below just contact the walk leader. The starting point and parking place for each walk can be found by its postcode or located on the Ordnance Survey map (for grid references it's the numbers at the top and bottom that come first.) So just find your walking boots and phone to tell the walk leader to expect you.


The schedule below also includes a Strollers programme, designed for members who have stopped doing the regular walks and find a mile or so is enough. These short walks are on the second Wednesday of the month,  commencing 10.00 am, with coffee at 11.00 at the specified venue. 


For a printable pdf file of all the walks from April 2025 onwards in our Summer Walks Programme please click here. This may take some time to appear and, just in case any details are incorrect, do check for the latest information below and with the walk leader and let them know if you plan to join a walk.
