Rotherham Metro Ramblers is a friendly and sociable local walking group who have organised walks on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Walks range from five miles to about 10 miles in a wide area from local Rotherham walks to ones in the Peak District, and sometimes in North Nottinghamshire, and East and West Yorkshire. They also have an annual coach ramble, and an organised walking holiday.
