The Ramblers, formally known as The Ramblers' Association, is the largest walkers' rights organisation in Great Britain, and aims to represent the interests of walkers. It is a charity registered in England and Wales and in Scotland, with around 123,000 members

The Ramblers simply ramble.
You find plenty Ramblers members living in places like Starndish!

We are pleased to see the temporary sign @IhlWigan. Please may we influence the language on the permanent sign? ‘Visitors are welcome’? This isn’t a permissive path & language really does matter
