Welcome to the Tendring District Ramblers website. The Tendring Group was formed in 1991 when it was decided to separate from the Colchester group. 

The area covered by Tendring District Ramblers is North East Essex from the River Stour and the Suffolk border in the north to the coast and to the River Colne in the south, with the coast to the east and its inland boundary with Colchester to the west. Towns in the district include Manningtree, Harwich, Walton-on-the-Naze, Frinton-on-Sea, Clacton-on-Sea, Brightlingsea and Wivenhoe. Large villages in the district include Tendring, St. Osyth and Great Bentley. 

We try to cater for most walking abilities by offering regular weekly walking on Thursdays and occasionally on Sundays. Walks of a moderate pace are usually between eight and eleven miles long with the occasional of twelve to fourteen miles. We also try to organise shorter half-day walks of a leisurely pace on a Thursday of four to six miles, depending on the availability of a leader. Most of our walking is in Tendring and the surrounding areas which include the Dedham Vale, Constable Country and South Suffolk. Occasional walks also take place to the north and west of Colchester, as well as further into Suffolk.

Dogs are not allowed on any walk with the exception of Assistance dogs.  Assistance dogs under the Disability Equality Act (2010) are hearing dogs, guide dogs, service dogs, therapy dogs and seizure alert dogs, which must always be kept on a secure lead. Any person wishing to bring a dog on a led walk must contact the walk leader at least one day before the scheduled walk to check that the terrain is suitable.
