Preston & District Walking Club

We are based in Lancashire in the North West of England but our walks take us round the UK's National Parks, central England, the Lake District, North Wales and even Scotland.

Come and join us on our walking adventures

"Our aim is to provide as many people as possible, regardless of age and ability, the opportunity to experience the great outdoors and to wander the countryside by means of our organised walks."

You will be made most welcome.

We have various grades of walks to suit all abilities (See our Guidelines Section). Alternatively you can do your own walk. If you would like information about joining us or about our Club activities, please select "Contact Us" from the menu.

Please Note: Only assistance dogs are permitted on walks.

PDWC Members - Don't feel like walking!

Then why don't you join us on one of our coach outings.

You can enjoy the many interesting places that we go to without going on one of our guided walks.

Explore the surrounding area or simply take in the local attractions and shops in places you would not normally go and have a wonderful leisurely day out.

We are affiliated to the Rambling Association

We are affiliated to the Rambling Association which brings us many benefits and still fits in with out ethos of providing outdoor walking for all.

The Preston and District Walking Club originally started its life in 1932 as The Preston CHA Rambling Club. The club was affiliated to Country Wide Holiday Association hence CHA in the name but in the 1990's the Country Wide Holiday Association ceased to exist along with many other organisations of this type as holiday trends moved away from walking type holidays to package holidays so, in 2007, it was deemed appropriate to re-name the club the Preston and District Walking Club.
