The Railway Ramblers' as you may gather from the title is a club that likes to explore disused railway lines. They organise walks throughout the country, for people of varying ages and abilities, usually on disused railways, although sometimes they explore old canals and, occasionally, even Roman roads. They are not, however, a high-powered hiking club concerned mainly with clocking up the miles but are more interested in finding what remains of our industrial heritage, in good company, and ideally with a pleasant pub stop for lunch and yes there is a very active Yorkshire Group.
