Darlington Group - Ramblers

Darlington

The Darlington Group is part of the Ramblers, a national organization dedicated to promoting walking and protecting the places where people walk. The group organizes weekly walks every Sunday, exploring areas such as the Cleveland Hills, the North Yorkshire Dales, and villages within Durham and Yorkshire. These walks cater to various fitness levels, ranging from easy to medium, with occasional strenuous hikes for the more adventurous. During the summer months, from April to August, they also host weekly Wednesday evening walks of approximately 5-6 miles, taking in local surrounding villages and paths throughout Darlington.
