Step into Winter with the Festival of Winter Walks

For over 30 years, The Ramblers have encouraged people to wrap up, head out, and enjoy the magic of Britain’s countryside through their annual Festival of Winter Walks - an initiative we always love to promote to our community.

When the temperature drops, staying indoors can seem tempting—but winter walking is a powerful boost for both body and mind. Crisp air, quiet trails, big skies… it’s the perfect recipe for wellbeing.

And with 4,000+ routes available on The Ramblers website, there’s a walk for everyone—whatever your age, pace, or experience.

Planning a winter wander? Their top tips for staying safe and comfortable are a must-read.

A winter perk you might not know about

If you receive only the state pension (with no private pension), you may be eligible for concessionary individual or joint membership with The Ramblers. Or, if you’re over 60, you might also qualify for concessionary life membership. A quick call to The Ramblers team is all it takes to apply.

Whether it’s a gentle village stroll or a frosty hillside hike, winter is waiting—step outside and enjoy it.
