The Rambling Group invites villagers from Ducklington, surrounding villages and Witney to join us on Saturdays at 10.00am for a countryside walk.

We welcome parents with smaller children in large wheel strollers, and dogs on a lead.

We tend to concentrate on local routes, and aim for walks to be 1-2 hours in duration. We pace ourselves, and don’t mind more adventurous walkers leading the pack, and will support slower walkers bringing up the rear.

At some point on the walk we usually stop for a drink and a brief reflection.

The following dates have been earmarked for walks:

14th March

11th April

9th May

13th June

11th July

8th August

12th September

10th October

14th November

12th December

All you need is sensible footwear, a drink and clothing suitable for the weather – then just turn up and enjoy the walk.
