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.

This circular route began in Hague Bar, following quiet lanes and paths as we climbed steadily, gaining good views across to Cown Edge. From here the route continued north‑east on field paths and tracks, rising onto the moorland before descending to The Little Mill Inn tucked in the valley near Rowarth.
The middle section of the walk explored the rolling countryside around Rowarth, with a mix of pasture, woodland edges, and open views towards Kinder Scout. Turning south‑west, the route descended towards Thornsett, picking up The Sett Valley Trail that leads into the outskirts of New Mills.
After stopping for lunch at The Torrs Riverside Park picnic area near the river Goyt, the final stretch crossed the Millennium Walkway, then followed The Midshire Way, a combination of riverside and woodland paths back towards Hague Bar, completing a varied and rewarding walk with a blend of rural scenery and classic High Peak landscapes.

On a cool, overcast Sunday morning with rain forecast, Wayne led a group of 8 walkers on a 10.3 mile walk on the moors above Embsay, used for grouse shooting, with two climbs to trig points and a surprise place to have lunch.
Starting from Embsay village car park, we walked across fields to Embsay Reservoir, followed by a climb up to the first trig point at Crookwise Crag Top, where we stopped for the morning break. We then continued to Hellifield Crag and down across Waterfall Gill Beck. We stopped at the beck for photos, then climbed up again to cross the moor on tracks to Brown Bank for the lunch stop at a shooting lodge used for grouse shooting. After lunch, we continued on tracks across the moor and down to Halton Moor, followed by a climb up to High Crag and the second trig point. The return leg was via Easty Gate and Eastby back to the start.
After the walk, some of the group went to the Elm Tree Inn in the village for drinks.
