Sociable walking for sociable people

Welcome to the Sheffield Shamblers Walking Group

Do you enjoy walking but want to do this at a leisurely pace? Fed up with walking groups that want to beat the clock over the distance of the walk? Or maybe you are new to walking and fear that you won't be able to keep up with experienced walkers? Then come and join the SHEFFIELD SHAMBLERS WALKING GROUP! 

STOP PRESS - did you read the article about us in the Telegraph?

Who are we?

We are a group of people of all ages and from every walk of life who enjoy walking and love having a good time. Pleasant company and a good sense of humour is essential on all our walks. Anyone looking for formal walks organised with military precision, qualified guides and strict codes of conduct, then this club is not for you!
Dogs are always welcome, but must be kept on a lead at all times.

Our Walks

We offer weekly Sunday walks all year round which are usually around 6-8 miles in length.
Most Fridays we provide short 3-4 mile walks which normally end up with a cafe stop at the end. Occasional midweek evening walks are also provided for people who fancy a brisk walk somewhere in the suburbs of Sheffield, followed by a pub visit afterwards. These walks are normally 3-5 miles in length and last about 1.5 hours.

We have regular stops to admire the views, the flora, fauna, birds and other wildlife. Sharing local information and any general knowledge about the countryside and walking in general is always encouraged. We even wait for photographers sometimes!

Where we walk

Weekend and daytime walks are normally around South Yorkshire and the Peak District, which have some of the most attractive villages and countryside in England. 

Evening walks usually take place within the boundaries of Sheffield itself.

Our walking speed is usually about 3 miles per hour and we walk as a social group - waiting until the slowest person has climbed over a stile to make sure that he or she is safe for instance.
