Rotherham Metro Ramblers is a friendly and sociable local walking group that organises walks on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Walks range from five miles to about ten miles and cover a wide area, from local Rotherham walks to those in the Peak District, and sometimes in North Nottinghamshire, and East and West Yorkshire. The group also hosts an annual coach ramble and an organised walking holiday.
New walkers are very welcome to join and try a couple of walks. For more information, visit www.ramblers.org.uk/rotherham-metro.
