All our features come complete with superb writing, inspiring photography and step-by-step instructions so you can follow every footpath yourself. And for each walk, we’ll give you brilliant options for accommodation, food and drink, and local visitor attractions, so you can plan every walking adventure to perfection.
Walk
Walk is the magazine of the Ramblers Association – the largest walkers’ rights organisation in Great Britain. It aims to represent the interests of walkers (or ramblers). It is a charity with around 123,000 members. The Ramblers as a charitable organisation believes in the power of walking. A belief of the organisation is a recognition of the positive impact that walking can have on people’s lives. Although it is a membership-based organisation, the Ramblers believes that its work benefits society as a whole, and a core belief is that the countryside should be for rambling. Since its inception, the Ramblers have campaigned for full rights of responsible access to all of Britain’s green spaces, culminating in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (the CRoW Act). Access in Scotland is even more liberal: the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 made Scotland among the most walking-friendly countries in Europe, along with the Nordic countries, with walkers having the right to access virtually all land.
