Our history
Walking in the countryside (or ‘rambling’) was popular in 19th-century Britain. For people
living in towns and cities, walking was a way of escaping from a polluted environment and
the stress of daily life. Access to the countryside, however, was becoming more of a
challenge due to an increase in the ownership of large areas of land by a small number of
people.

A number of walking clubs and groups were set up to protect walkers’ rights, and finally,
in 1935, they joined together to create The Rambling Society, a national organisation
aiming to improve access laws and expand the areas where people could walk.

Aims and achievements

Thanks to our efforts, a new law was finally passed in 1949 called the National Parks and
Access to the Countryside Act. This law set up the first National Parks and Nature
Reserves, as well as stating that public footpaths in England and Wales had to be recorded
on maps.

It was a big step forward as it meant that everyone would know where they were allowed
to walk, even if the path crossed someone’s land. Many landowners, however, let grass
grow over the footpaths so that they were hard to find, so a lot of our efforts were put into
walking on as many paths as possible in order to keep them open.

Why not try walking?

Our original aims remain the same, but we have continued to change with the times. In the
1990s, it became clear to us that walking was becoming less popular, and that we needed
to encourage walking as healthy exercise. Since then we have reached out to non-walkers
to help them take up walking.
