North West Wiltshire Ramblers walks

Seasons greetings from the North West Wiltshire Ramblers. We’ll be walking throughout the festive period. Walk more, worry less. Life is better on foot.

Our weekly programme of Sunday walks typically range from 4 to 12 miles, and take place in North Wiltshire and the surrounding counties. Our members come from all over the region including Box, Calne, Corsham, Malmesbury and Melksham.

We extend a warm welcome to all new walkers, visitors and guests. Our weekly Sunday walks typically range from 4 to 12 miles. We offer the option of meeting in Chippenham so that we can car share to the start of the walk and give members without cars a lift. This enables us to take as few cars as possible.
