Guildford Rambling Club

Exploring the beautiful countryside around Guildford

News

In early June 2024, club members travelled to HF  Holnicote House near Selworthy, on the Somerset/Devon border. We were given a choice of 3 different walks each day to suit our different preferences.  It helped that we were fortunate to get good weather for the week and only had to use our wet weather gear once.
On our walks we experienced moors and coastal paths and visited Lynmouth, Porlock and Dunster. Beavers were  introduced on the estate and we saw the evidence in the shape of fallen trees also badgers were seen by some of us and a rare butterfly, the heath fritillary on one of the walks.
Evenings began with a brief description of the following day’s walks followed by a substantial meal and ended with games and quizzes.

Walk programmes

Please now be thinking about walks from May to August 2025, Dora will be happy to receive your offers.

Please note the reference to the Club’s Health and Safety Policy on the Welcome page.  You should all be aware of and familiar with it and you must observe its recommendations if you are to walk with us. Please also read our  Privacy and Data Protection Policy

All of the relevant authorities are taking action to reduce the cost of their countryside and rights of way activities.  This is obviously very worrying in terms of how quickly our footpath network will deteriorate and the high likelihood that less used paths will become blocked.  We are asked, therefore, to ensure that everyone be extra vigilant in reporting footpath problems so we can monitor the true effects of cutbacks.

This site went live on 1/9/2018.  Thanks to Tye (of aguawebs) who helped us to build  it. If any members have suggestions about the site and, in particular, any items of news or photographs that they would like to see posted here, please let me know.  I can’t promise to fulfill everyone’s desires but I will try.
