About

The Ramblers are a well-known and active charity that encourage people of all ages and abilities to get outside and enjoy the countryside. The Lancaster group is very active with a wide range of available walks.

This taster session is a 3-hour circular walk of Lancaster starting in Aldcliffe, going via Freeman's Wood and along the river and canal back to the starting point. At around 6 miles long, this is a manageable distance for anyone with a reasonable level of mobility and fitness. There will be a stop for coffee and snacks, so please bring along provisions.
