Welcome to Bury Ramblers
Bury Ramblers Group is part of the Greater Manchester & High Peak Area of the Ramblers. We have approximately 170 members. However, we are always ready to welcome new members. We organise walks in some of the finest countryside in the North of England where there is an extensive network of footpaths. We organise all-day walks on most Sundays of the year. The group size on our walks is usually between 10 and 20. Walks are advertised in the Walks programme page and includes any late changes or cancellations to walks. If you are new to walking you can join us on up to three of our walks before deciding if you would like to become a member of Ramblers.
If you choose to join The Ramblers you are allocated to a local group based on your postcode (unless you choose otherwise). This doesn’t mean you can only walk with that group. You can walk with any other group you choose.

In cool and drizzly weather conditions, Six of us set out on an 8 mile scenic route, from Langcliffe to the pretty village of Feizer via the limestone edge of Gigglesworth Scar. From Feizer, we joined the Dales High Way below Smearsett Scar, before descending into Stainforth, passing Stainforth Force, where the waterfall normally tumbles through its rocky gorge, but a long spell of dry weather has left the falls dry. The return route allowed us to explore the impressive Hoffmann Kiln, a vast, echoing industrial relic hidden in the woods, before we continued along the Limeworks Trail back to Langcliffe.

In warm sunny weather, Barbara Shelton led a group of 9 walkers on a fairly level route taking in fields and parkland around Heath Charnock and Adlington.
The walk had been shortened to 6 miles due to the ongoing hot weather conditions. It was a mostly level route, starting off along the River Yarrow, passing Coppull Hall, then using lanes and tracks to join the Leeds-Liverpool canal, which we followed for about 2 miles. One mile from the end, we were joined by Norman Thomas and had a leisurely break at Frederick's ice cream parlour, which has 46 flavours on offer as well as coffee and cake. The route had quite a lot of shade, and we took water breaks as needed.
