Rail Rambles in Wales and the Border Counties
 

 

Walks Descriptions

The terms 'strenuous' refer to a fast pace due to mileage or to the return train time or both;
'moderate' indicates one or two climbs and a steady pace; 'leisurely' means gentle climbs and
some level ground; "easy" means mostly level ground and a gentle pace.



Walks are led by members of the Ramblers and are insured.
Whilst every care will be taken to keep to the advertised programme, walks leaders reserve the right to make changes to suit weather conditions, the needs of the party or other unforeseen circumstances.
 

Most Rail Rambles are off-road in rural areas. Please have suitable footwear and clothing for the walk you intend to join, and bring some food and drink, even if the walk includes a pub or café
break. Leaders may refuse to accept participants who in their opinion are inadequately equipped or unfit. When in doubt, contact the organisers or the walk leader in advance. For your own and others' safety please abide by any instructions issued by the walk leader. Though walking is inherently one of the safest outdoor activities, no activity is completely without risk and it is your responsibility to behave sensibly and to minimise the potential for accidents to occur.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dogs

To comply with the wishes of the majority of our walkers, we regret that dogs cannot be taken
on any Rail Ramble.

Fares

The normal range of tickets can be used to travel to the walk start point. Where a walk returns
from a different location, a ticket to the furthest point should be purchased. Discounted fares
are available to holders of railcards. At the present time Arriva trains offer a 25% reduction to
groups of three or more travellers. Walkers leaving from Shrewsbury often form little groups by
the ticket office in order to take advantage of the group reduction.
