In addition to leading walks throughout Nottinghamshire and beyond, we are deeply committed to advocating for the enhancement and protection of our footpath network, which faces numerous threats. We actively campaign to ensure these paths remain accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

Our efforts are strengthened through close collaboration with Notts County Council and local landowners. Together, we work diligently to identify and implement practical solutions for any footpath issues. Your input is invaluable, so please let us know if you encounter any problems.

Happy Walking, everyone!

Help Us to Protect Our Rights of Way Network

Footpath Sign

Safeguarding and enhancing our beloved footpath network lies at the heart of Ramblers’ mission.

In Nottinghamshire, we are seeking two dedicated volunteers to become part of our passionate Rights of Way team, working across the county to help preserve and improve these vital pathways.

Area Rights of Way Protection Officer

Our footpaths are constantly under threat of diversion or closure. The Area Rights of Way Protection Officer manages our response to the various proposals to change our RoW network, as well as coordinating our response to planning applications that may affect Rights of Way. This is largely a desk-based role.

Area Footpath Maintenance & Improvement Officer

Improving access to our Rights of Way network is a real issue as surveys indicate that blocked footpaths are an increasing problem. This new role focusses on meeting this challenge by implementing the monitoring and assessment of Rights of Way, as well as improving the accessibility of our footpath network. This role will appeal to those who enjoy being outdoors carrying out practical tasks

Further details of this opportunity can be found here:- ROLE DESCRIPTION

Can you help support the Robin Hood Way Association

The Robin Hood Way is a 107‑mile walking trail that winds across Nottinghamshire, linking many of the county’s most iconic historic sites. Beginning at Nottingham Castle, it passes Wollaton Hall, Bestwood Park, Clumber Park, Rufford Abbey, Southwell Minster and Cresswell Crags, before finishing at Edwinstowe near the Major Oak.

The full route is detailed in the Robin Hood Way guidebook, which includes maps and a selection of additional shorter local walks. At just £10.95, buying a copy is a great way to support the Robin Hood Way Association and the work that goes into maintaining this wonderful trail.

The Way is cared for by a dedicated team of volunteer wardens, each responsible for a small section of the route. Twice a year they walk their stretch, checking for obstacles, obstructions or damaged waymarkers — all vital in keeping the trail open, safe and enjoyable for everyone. The Association is now looking for new wardens. Could you spare a little time to help look after part of this historic Nottinghamshire trail?
