About the Area
The South Yorkshire and North East Derbyshire Area of the Ramblers Association has seven local groups.The area offers a wide variety of walking opportunities, from the high moorland of the Dark Peak to the west, the lowland moors of Thorne and Hatfield to the east, the "Last of the Summer Wine" country in the north, to the Derbyshire Dales in the south.
In the area there is a long tradition of campaigning for footpaths, public access to mountain and moorland and on countryside issues.
It has a diverse and fascinating countryside offering many varied walking experiences, whether exploring the many sites of prehistoric interest or the extensive wildlife habitats.

Each Group has its walks programme (many also have their own websites and email contacts - see links in column on right), with walks ranging from easy to strenuous. Some groups have special walks for the visually impaired and others with special needs. There are also groups for particular age ranges.
