Welcome to Torbay Rambling Club
We’re a friendly, well established walking group based in Torbay, South Devon, who are open to welcoming new members.
In 2025 we celebrated our 75th Anniversary and organised many events for our members to enjoy.
Torbay Rambling Club Concludes 75th Anniversary Celebrations
On Saturday 11th April 2026 thirty walkers gathered in Brixham Town Square for Torbay Rambling Club’s Anniversary Walk, postponed from October last year. The Club, one of the oldest rambling clubs in the country, was formed in 1950. In 2025 there were various celebrations for the 75th anniversary, including a summer party, a boat trip, a canoe adventure, a cream tea and the unveiling of a plaque in the Royal Terrace Gardens, Torquay by Torbay MP Steve Darling. When it came to the walk to commemorate the Club’s inaugural walk from Brixham to Kingswear, however, a named storm forced its postponement to Spring 2026.
This time the weather was kinder, though rain, hail and strong winds, as well as bright sunshine, were experienced along the way. The group took the coast path to Berry Head, where walkers separated into two groups, those intending to walk the coast path to Kingswear and those preferring a shorter, less strenuous walk, turning inland at Sharkham and returning to Brixham. Both groups completed their walks successfully, with 14 walkers doing the full 11 miles to Kingswear.
