Welcome to the website of the
North Devon Group.

From this page we hope to help you with any request or query you may have about Footpath problems, coming events, our latest walks' programme and  information on membership of  The Ramblers'  Association.


The Ramblers' Association is 70 years old. In Devon alone there are in excess of 4000 members. Without influence from this organisation we would not be enjoying the pleasures of walking that we all take for granted. National Parks, long distance footpaths, and many open access areas would not have happened.


No Transport! Not a problem, our Group have a meeting place where it is possible to share transport to reduce the number of cars taken to the start of a walk. In fact, some programme walks are arranged to use public transport. An aim the Ramblers' Association promotes.


Please use the tabs on the left of the screen to select the subject matter you wish to have more information on. In the event that we do not cover your query please contact the Honorary Secretary, whose details you will find      below. Your query can then be processed or  passed to the appropriate person for a reply. Enjoy the website!
